I searched high and low for the information number but to no avail. I did, however, find this which could be useful and you could ask them for the information number:

"The service, facing to all residential customers and mobile customers, provides standardization service through community managers system,Contract system in rural areas and the hotlines with the uniform access number of "10000"."

Also in Shanghai they have an international service which provides information and was implemented during the World Expo 2010. I don't know if it is still operational:

"China Telecom recently announced the launch of an information inquiry hotline '4008882580' for international visitors in preparation for the World Expo 2010.

"We offer daily life information inquiry and booking services for the international visitors to Shanghai," a China Telecom official Interfax.

Still in its trial stage, the hotline offers 24-hour service in English and Chinese languages. The users can book taxis, and make hotel and restaurant reservations through the hotline. The hotline also provides phone numbers to the users"

114 for phone numbers of any entity. (But for specific number in other province, you have to add the provincial number to the front of it. You can also dial 114 to check what the provincial numbers are).
12580 for weather, bus rout information etc.
119 for fire fighter,
110 call the police
112 report for traffic accident

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
