📍 Geographic Location of Tulufan, Xinjiang
Overview of +86 995
The country calling code +86 is assigned to the People's Republic of China under the ITU-T E.164 international numbering plan. Within China's national numbering scheme, the area code 995 is designated for the city of Tulufan (Turpan), located in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. This is a geographic area code, meaning that the number is tied to a specific physical location and is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services, including residential, business, and government lines within the Tulufan administrative area.
Coverage and Administration
The 995 area code covers the entire Tulufan Prefecture, which includes the city of Turpan (Tulufan) itself, as well as the surrounding counties of Toksun (Tuokexun) and Shanshan (Pigan). The region is an important agricultural and industrial hub in Xinjiang, known for its grape production and tourism. The code is administered by China Telecom and China Unicom, the primary fixed-line operators in the region, with China Mobile also providing fixed-line services in some areas.
Dialing Formats
For callers within China, the local dialing format for Tulufan numbers is 0995 XXX XXXX (the leading 0 is the domestic trunk prefix). For example, a local number might be 0995 123 4567. When calling from outside China, the international format is +86 995 XXX XXXX (omit the leading 0). For instance, an international caller would dial +86 995 123 4567.
Number Length and Structure
Fixed-line numbers in Tulufan are 7 digits long after the area code, making the total national significant number (NSN) 11 digits when including the area code (without the trunk prefix 0). The structure is: 0 (trunk prefix) + 995 (area code) + XXXXXXX (subscriber number). This follows the standard Chinese fixed-line numbering plan.
Overlay and Changes
As of the latest updates, there are no overlay codes in Tulufan; the 995 area code is the sole geographic code for the region. However, with the increasing adoption of VoIP and mobile services, some fixed-line numbers may be ported to mobile networks, but the area code remains indicative of the original geographic assignment. Callers should always verify the complete number, especially when receiving calls from unknown numbers, as caller ID may display the area code.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within Tulufan, dialing another fixed-line number in the same area may require only the 7-digit subscriber number, but it is safer to include the area code. For domestic long-distance calls from other parts of China, dial 0995 followed by the subscriber number. For international callers, use the full international format: +86 995 followed by the subscriber number. Ensure you have the correct country exit code when calling from your country.
