Dial Hong Kong directly through your phone carrier using country code 852 — convenient, but international rates can add up fast.
Prepaid calling cards let you reach Hong Kong at lower rates, though you'll juggle access numbers and PINs each time.
MeraTalk connects you to Hong Kong over the internet with HD-clear audio, low rates, and no hardware to set up.
Dial 011, then 852, then the number in full — nothing is dropped.
On a mobile you can replace the exit code with a + sign and dial +852 directly, which works from any country without knowing the local exit code.
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 Hong Kong's country code — no spaces or dashes. This routes your call to Hong Kong's telephone network. On smartphones, replace the exit code with a + sign.
Hong Kong has no trunk prefix, so there is nothing to drop. Dial the number exactly as it is written — the same digits are used at home and from abroad. Hong Kong mobile numbers begin 5, 6 or 9 and are eight digits — there is no area code.
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.
A strong, stable internet connection is the foundation of every clear call — use Wi-Fi or solid data whenever you can.
A quality headset sharpens both ends of the conversation, making your calls to Hong Kong clearer and more comfortable.
Keep the time difference in mind — UTC+8 — so you reach people at a reasonable hour and not in the middle of the night.
The price of calling Hong Kong swings widely depending on whether you use a carrier, a calling card, or VoIP — and VoIP usually wins.
How to get started with MeraTalk
Phone numbers in Hong Kong follow set ranges after the 852 country code, distinguishing mobiles, landlines, and special services.
+852 is Hong Kong. Hong Kong has no area codes — they were abolished at the end of 1989 — so the first digit of the eight-digit number tells you what kind of line it is:
There is nothing to drop and no area code to look up — dial +852 followed by all eight digits.
Two details that surprise people: Hong Kong's own international access code is 001 rather than 00, and calls from Hong Kong to mainland China or Macau are international calls requiring their own country codes, despite Hong Kong being part of China.
