Taiwan number format (+886)

Taiwanese mobile numbers start with 09 when written inside the country, for example 09XX-XXX-XXX (10 digits with the trunk 0). Landlines use area codes such as 02 for Taipei and 04 for Taichung, and SMS codes go to mobiles, so a code number will start with 9 after +886. When an app asks for your number:

• Pick Taiwan (+886) in the country list, or type +886 yourself.
• Drop the leading 0, so 09XX-XXX-XXX becomes +886 9XX XXX XXX (9 digits after +886).
• If you see the number written as 00886, replace 00886 with +886.
• A wrong format is one of the most common reasons a code never arrives.
