How do I call China?

Trying to call someone in Beijing, and I have their local number.

Thanks!

dial 011 then china's country code 86 and then the number.

The delay is interesting.

If you are ordering, I'll have the orange flavored beef.

I had a Chinese girlfriend for a while. One night in bed, she asked me if I wanted to do anything kinky, and I said "how about a 69" She looked at me weird and said "You want beef with broccoli?" You know, the sex was OK, but an hour later I'd be horny again.

Perfect timing, thanks
My son leaves tomorrow for a year in Shanghai.
Does anyone know an inexpensive way to phone--does internet phone or something along those lines work? My wife can talk on the phone for hours, you don't want to see what my phone bills were when he was at oxford.
Thanks again
Gary

How did it taste? Crunchy? Might have her shave next time...

Good info- you also need the city code as well.

So you dial 011 then china's country code 86 and then 10 then the number. Just called today.

The girl I'm seeing just went there for 4 months studying abroad. I have a feeling I'm going to have some pretty nutty phonebills.

Her cel phone doesn't work out there, so I'm also interested in affordable minutes if anyone has other ideas.

Good joke widebody911!

Thanks
