MeraTalk gives you clear, low-cost calls to China from anywhere, with no hardware and no hassle.
Full dialing sequence
Start by dialing your own country's international access code. From the US or Canada this is 011; from most of Europe it's 00. This tells your network you're making an international call.
Immediately follow with China's country code — no spaces or dashes. This routes your call to China's telephone network. On smartphones, replace the exit code with a + sign.
Add the city or regional code for your destination in China. If the local number starts with a 0 (trunk prefix), drop it — the country code replaces it when dialing internationally.
Enter all remaining digits of the local number exactly as written. For mobile numbers, include every digit — no abbreviations. Press call and your carrier does the rest.
Reliable connectivity ensures every word comes through clearly — verify your signal before connecting.
For the sharpest audio when reaching China, a quality headset outperforms the phone speaker.
Timing matters: with UTC+8 as the local zone, plan your call so it lands during waking hours.
What you pay to reach China depends on how you connect, with internet calling offering clear savings.
