What's the area code of Wuxi?

The area code of Wuxi is: 05 10.

Nanjing, as the exchange center in East China (due to the limitation of communication level at that time, every region needed an exchange center), adopted 02 5. In East China, all prefecture-level cities except Shanghai adopted independent area code.

As for why Wuxi was 05 10, it was because the area code was decided by lottery at that time, without any demographic or economic and political factors.

At the beginning, the Jiangsu areas were Nanjing 025 (trading center), Wuxi 05 10, Zhenjiang 05 1, Suzhou 05 12, Nantong 05 13, Yangzhou 05 14 and Yancheng 05/kloc-0. +07 Lianyungang 05 18 Changzhou 05 19 Changshu 0520 (the area code was cancelled after Changshu was downgraded to Suzhou) Taizhou 0523 Suqian 0527
