How to call Taiwan from abroad
Landline area codes lose their 0 from abroad: Taipei's 02 becomes +886 2. Mobiles all start with 09, and that 0 is dropped too, so 0912 345 678 becomes +886 912 345 678.
Mobile numbers: Mobiles start with 09 and have 10 digits locally: 09xx xxx xxx, or +886 9xx xxx xxx from abroad. An example in international format: +886 9xx xxx xxx.
