What is the area code of 08 17?

08 17 is the area code of Nanchong City, Sichuan Province.

The area code was determined after the Cultural Revolution. At that time, there was no program-controlled telephone exchange, and there were not many municipal administrative units (mostly regions and few prefecture-level cities). When the local unit exceeds 10 but is less than 15, some areas with less long-distance telecom business share a regional switching center.

For example, Huaihua City in Hunan Province, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Hunan Province and Zhangjiajie City in Hunan Province share a regional exchange center with neighboring Chenzhou and Loudi cities in Hunan Province, so the area code is 4. However, the long-distance network also adopts the "multilevel tandem system".
