What roaming services are included in international mobile telecommunication?

(1) Voice International Roaming Service:

Dialing Procedures:

Dialing local telephones in China:

Directly dial the regional area code + the fixed telephone number, or directly dial the mobile phone number

Dialing international fixed telephones:

Dial 00 + national code + regional code + telephone number

Dialing international mobile telephones:

Dial 00 or plus sign (+) + national code + mobile phone number

Tips:

When dialing fixed telephones in China, please add 0 before the regional code. For instance, you shall dial 010 for Beijing, 020 for Guangzhou and 021 for Shanghai. If you dial the telephones of countries or regions other than mainland China, you must use an international prefix such as 00 or the + sign.

International calling charges still apply when voice calling between two mobile phones accessible to the international roaming services within the same country or region. For more information about international roaming charges, please call your national mobile telecommunications operator.

(2) International short-message service (SMS):

After editing the contents of short messages, customers shall enter within the column of sender number: the international prefix (00 or plus sign (+)) + national code + user mobile number, then you can send international short messages.

Tips:

1. If China Mobile and its roaming partner haven't initialized international short-message service, it's impossible to exchange international short messages with the customers of aforesaid roaming partners.

2. In some countries and regions, telecommunication operators only provide single-direction international short-message service. In other words, you can send international short messages to the customers of above telecommunication operators, but are unable to receive international short messages from them. For more details, please call the Beijing customer service hotline of China Mobile -- (+8610) 10086 or talk to a customer representative in a China Mobile service hall.
