Yao yao ling is just what everyone says - it's a phone number. You don't read it as "one hundred and ten"



Ah, I’m sorry. I should have clarified further - I was referring to the transliteration of “110V” as “yao yao ling dian ya” - “one one zero volts”. In that instance the transliteration is incorrect as one would usually use “one hundred and ten” (yi bai yi shi).
