4. Enter the landline number of the receiver
Finally, you can enter the landline number of the receiver whom you want to reach in China. You can instantly get connected.
Let us consider an example: 011-86-538-78752
In this section, let us explore how to make calls to a China mobile number from the US:
1. Dial the exit code ‘011’.
2. Dial the country code for China ‘86’.
3. The last step is to enter the mobile number of the receiver.
Let us consider an example: 011-86-666-78752.
China deals with a single timezone, CST (China Standard Time), which means 8 hours ahead of the Universal Time (UTC+8). While on the other hand, the US follows 6 different time zones such as:
The Central Standard Time in the USA is 13 hours ahead of the China Standard Time. For instance, if it is 8 AM in China, it will be 9 PM in the US. Moreover, China follows 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, which corresponds to 8 PM to 4 PM in the US.
Hence, considering these factors, the best time to speak to a Chinese number from the US would be between 7 PM and 11 PM US time and 8 AM and 12 PM for the Chinese.
Pricing usually depends on the network carrier you choose. If you choose a traditional mode of calling a prospect, it will definitely be expensive which ranges around $3 to $5.
