drungood Posted February 17, 2012 at 08:03 AM Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 at 08:03 AM I just bought a crappy Chinese cell phone and a China Mobile SIM card. The number on the SIM card is 20 digits, but one of the digits in the middle is a 'C' (or is it a worn off 0 - either way using the number doesn't seem to work) Anyway, I don't know what I'm supposed to dial from Skype to reach this number. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yialanliu Posted February 17, 2012 at 09:03 AM Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 at 09:03 AM Skype works to call chinese cell phones since that's the main way my family and fiance calls me from America. With regards to your 20 digit number, I don't think that's your number. Best bet would be to ask a friend call their cell phone ans see what is displayed. Chinese cell phone numbers are typically 11 digits, 3 digits for area codes and 8 for the number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drungood Posted February 17, 2012 at 10:08 AM Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 at 10:08 AM Thanks, you're correct! The real number was nowhere on the card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted February 18, 2012 at 03:30 AM Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 at 03:30 AM Yep, that works for me as well. Good for calling via Skype to a Chinese mobile. Country code + Area code + 11 digit mobile number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBI Posted February 23, 2012 at 03:44 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 at 03:44 PM Some cellphone cards in China cannot receive or send international calls. Check with China mobile or whomever else is your provider. They have kiosks everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
