Phone number formats in Hong Kong

International format

+852 + eight-digit mobile or landline number

Keep all eight digits of the ordinary Hong Kong number after +852. Do not add a city area code or an opening 0. If the number already starts with +852, do not add the code again.

Domestic and international examples

Each X stands for a digit. These illustrate the format and are not numbers to call.

International format
+852 XXXX XXXX

Hong Kong uses +852. Mainland China uses +86, a separate calling code. Keep +852 for a Hong Kong number; do not replace it with +86.

Mobile and landline numbers

Both use eight digits after +852. A number in Hong Kong Island, Kowloon or the New Territories does not need a separate city area code.

These instructions cover ordinary mobile and landline numbers. Short codes, emergency numbers and special services use separate numbering rules.

Received a call from +852?

+852 identifies the number's calling plan. It does not prove who is calling or where they are. Caller ID can be falsified, so the code alone cannot tell you whether a call is safe or fraudulent.

If you do not recognize the caller, check any claimed organization through its official website or a contact you already trust. Use the number published there to verify the request. Do not share passwords, verification codes or payment details with an unverified caller, or return a call just because the displayed number looks familiar.

Common questions

Related questions

How many digits are in a Hong Kong phone number?

An ordinary Hong Kong mobile or landline number has eight digits, excluding +852. Add the country code before those eight digits when calling internationally.

Does Hong Kong have city area codes?

No separate city area code is needed for an ordinary Hong Kong mobile or landline number. Use +852 and the full eight-digit number, with no domestic opening 0.

Does Hong Kong use +852 or mainland China's +86?

Hong Kong numbers use +852. Mainland China numbers use +86. Use the country code supplied with the recipient's number.

Can I replace the plus sign with 00?

Use + notation in Talkala. On a carrier phone, the international access prefix depends on where you call from and your carrier; it is not always 00. That access prefix replaces the plus sign, not the 852 country-code digits.

How can I call Hong Kong with Talkala?

Open the Talkala phone, enter the number and create an account when you're ready to call. You can prepare your call before signing up, and the person answering doesn't need Talkala.

What does it cost to call Hong Kong?

Talkala currently lists calls to Hong Kong from $0.06/min for landlines and $0.10/min for mobiles. These are starting rates in Talkala's default public price list. A number's carrier or prefix can change the final rate, which is confirmed before calling. Prices use the default United States caller ID, not your physical location.

When does the free first minute apply?

Eligible accounts with no available credit and no completed paid top-up may receive one free call of up to 60 seconds. The final rate for that call must be $0.99/min or less. Account and destination eligibility are checked before calling. See all free-minute conditions.
