## How to read a Oman phone number

A Oman number is +968 followed by 8 digits. Knowing which of those digits mark a mobile is what tells you what the call will cost before you place it.

Oman uses no trunk prefix, so the national number is dialled exactly as written after the country code.

Landline 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 Oman?

The country code for Oman is +968. Dial this after the exit code (or use + on a mobile).

What does a Oman phone number look like?

A Oman number is written as +968 2412 3456: the country code +968 followed by 8 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 Oman number is a mobile?

By its leading digits. In Oman, a national number of 8 digits beginning with 7, 9 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 Oman?

Oman does not use a trunk prefix, so you dial the local number exactly as-is after the country code.

How much does it cost to call Oman?

Telvio charges $0.35/min to Oman landlines and $0.45/min to mobiles. Billing is per second with no connection fees, so you pay only for the seconds you talk.
