• Taiwan uses an electric current of 110 volts at 60 cycles. Many buildings also have 220-volt sockets.
• Visitors with appliances of different voltages are urged to bring adapters with them.

Both coin and card pay public phones are available in Taiwan:

• Coin phones accept coins in denominations of NT$1, NT$5, and NT10.
• Card phones accept both magnetic-strip and IC stored-value cards available in amounts of NT$100, NT$200, and NT$300. These cards are sold in railway stations, bus stations, and convenience stores.
• Local calls from public phones are charged at NT$1 per minute.
• International direct calls are charged at NT$5 per specified unit of time.

When making local calls, it is not necessary to dial the area code; however, when making long-distance calls, first dial the area code of the receiving party (see the explanations on public telephones) and then the number itself.

• Dial Taiwan's international access code (002 or 009).
• Dial the country code of the country being called (Ex. "1" for the US, "86" for mainland China).
• Dial in the area code of the called party (leaving out the long-distance digit, "0").

Dial the local number of the called party. For operator-assisted international calls, please dial "100."

For information on international calling, call this toll-free number: 0800-080-100.
