What is the Phone Number Format in Taiwan?

Most phone numbers in Taiwan are written in the following formats:

   Prefix: long distance or international
   --------------------------------------
   |   Carrier or area code 
   |   --------------------
   |   |   Subscriber number
   |   |   -----------------
   v   v   v
   0   A   SSS SSSS     - Local format
  +886 A   SSS SSSS     - International format

Most telephone numbers in Taiwan have 8 digits and are written in the format of "A SSS SSSS". Here are some examples: 3 398 3274; 3 351-6805.

When dialing locally inside Taiwan, the long distance prefix of "0" is required. So the format becomes "0 A SSS SSSS".

When dialing from outside of Taiwan, the international dial-in prefix "+886" is required. So the format becomes "+886 A SSS SSSS".

When dialing from Taiwan to other countries, the international dail-out prefix "+" or "00x" required.
