前言：鸣谢Lucy的整理工作，特制作一个上海系列，不错的口语素材之一。

Communications

Telephone codes

Country code: 86

Area code: (0) 21

All Chinese area codes begin with a zero, which is dropped when calling China from abroad, and when making local calls.

Outgoing international code: 00 + country code

Directory inquiries: Dial 95115 or 50581000 x3 (for English) or x114 (Chinese)

To get a phone number for a bar or restaurant just “Guanxi” it: dial 885074 and you’ll receive a reply within seconds, containing the telephone number and address.


Public telephones

With the proliferation of mobile phones, there aren’t many public phone booths left. Your best bet is a hotel lobby. Chinese public phones take prepaid phone cards available from convenience stores and street vendors. Local calls are incredibly cheap. International calls cost around Rmb10 per minute.


Mobile phones

There are two mobile companies in Shanghai: China Mobile and China Unicom. China Mobile is larger but China Unicom has marginally lower rates. Both use the GSM system. China mobile uses GPRS phones, while China Unicom uses CDMA phones.

Check with your home firm to see if your roaming service operates here. Otherwise you can get a SIM card very cheaply, and buy pre-paid cards from streetside stalls or convenience stores. Many hotel business centres will rent you a handset.

It's open from 9am-8:30pm daily and costs Rmb4 per hour. You’ll need to have your passport with you. Be aware that certain sites in China are periodically blocked by the government.
