## How to read a Afghanistan phone number

Inside Afghanistan, numbers are dialled with a leading 0. Drop it when calling from abroad — keeping it is the single most common reason an international call fails.

Mobile prefixes

Prefix ranges still identify a line as mobile or fixed even where a number has been ported between operators, because the mobile and fixed blocks are separate and numbers do not move between them. Operator identification from a prefix, by contrast, stopped being reliable once portability arrived.

## Frequently asked questions

What is the country code for Afghanistan?

The country code for Afghanistan is +93. Dial this after the exit code (or use + on a mobile).

What does a Afghanistan phone number look like?

A Afghanistan number is written as +93 20 234 5678: the country code +93 followed by 9 digits. That total is fixed by the national numbering plan, so a number with one digit missing is a typo rather than a shorter valid number.

How can I tell if a Afghanistan number is a mobile?

By its leading digits. In Afghanistan, a national number of 9 digits beginning with 7 is a mobile. That still works after a number has been ported between operators, because mobile and fixed-line blocks are separate ranges and numbers do not move between them.

Do I need to drop the leading 0 when calling Afghanistan?

Yes. Afghanistan uses 0 as a trunk prefix for domestic calls. When dialing internationally, drop the leading 0 from the local number.
