What each type means for the caller

Toll-free: 0800–0807 or 0809
Free to the caller, usually only from inside the country; the business that owns the number pays for the call. 8 or 9 digits after +886.
Premium rate: 020
Charged above a normal call at a rate set by the service, with part of the charge going to the service provider. 7 or 9 digits after +886.
Universal access (UAN): 0500–0504 or 0506–0509
One national number for a business with several sites, routed to the nearest or chosen office. 9 digits after +886.
Personal number: 099
A follow-me number that forwards to whatever phone its owner chooses, so the digits don't reveal the line behind it. 9 digits after +886.
VoIP: 070
Numbers issued for internet telephony services rather than a fixed line or a mobile network. 10 or 11 digits after +886.

Writing and dialling a Taiwan toll-free number

Inside Taiwan, dial the number with its leading 0. From abroad or in E.164, drop the 0 and put +886 in front: 080 012 3456 becomes +886800123456. Many freephone numbers still only accept calls from inside Taiwan, and a call from abroad that does connect is usually charged.

Toll-free and premium numbers in a phone list

In a lead or customer list, a toll-free number usually reaches a company line rather than a person, and a premium-rate number costs you money to call. The free toll-free number checker flags them in a pasted list or CSV, and the Taiwan phone number format page covers mobiles and landlines.

Common questions

What is the toll-free prefix in Taiwan?
Taiwan toll-free numbers start with 0800–0807 or 0809 at home, written +886 800–807 or 809 internationally. Every valid toll-free number starts that way, though not every number with those digits is in service.
How many digits is a Taiwan toll-free number?
8 or 9 digits after the country code +886, plus the trunk prefix 0 when dialled inside Taiwan.
Can I call a Taiwan toll-free number from abroad?
Sometimes. Dial +886 and the number without the leading 0. Many freephone numbers only take calls from inside Taiwan, and where they do connect from abroad the call is usually charged.
How do I spot a premium-rate number in Taiwan?
By its first digits: 020. The prefix tells you the range is charged; the actual price is set per service.

The numbering plan only knows what a range was issued for.

In the US and Canada mobiles and landlines share the same prefixes, and anywhere a number can be ported or reassigned the range stops telling the whole story. A live carrier lookup asks the network data instead, which is what Pro + Phone ($49.99/mo) adds.
