Video Telephone numbers in Taiwan
Area codes
Emergency number in Taiwan is 119.
When making an inter-area long-distance call from within Taiwan, a long-distance prefix "0" is required. If calls are made from within the same area code, then the 0 of the area code prefix (or the entire area code itself) does not need to be included.
If calls are made from outside Taiwan, the "0" of the area code prefix is omitted.
The following table of area codes includes this "0" prefix. The Taiwan government reserves code 1 for Nanjing, the capital of Taiwan according to the Constitution of the Republic of China, which it does not actually control.
- Note: Inter-area calls are defined as long-distance phone calls even they have identical prefix.

International dialing codes
International dialing codes are assigned by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to its member states and their dependencies. However, as Taiwan was not an ITU member state, it had to be allocated the code 886 unofficially, with the ITU listing the code as 'reserved' until 2006. However, in that year, it formally allocated the code to "Taiwan, China". Until the late 1970s, Taiwan used the code 866, but the 86 code was reassigned to the People's Republic of China in conformity with the ITU's official membership, forcing Taiwan to utilize another code for countries that wished to maintain direct dial connections.
