# How to Call Iraq (+964)

Country code, exit codes, phone number format, and common mistakes when calling Iraq from abroad.

## Dialing format

How to dial from United States

### Calling Iraq

The subscriber number

From the United States, dial **011** to place an international call, then **964** for Iraq, then the area code (drop any leading 0), followed by the local number. With Telvio you dial the same format — no prefix change needed.

## Exit codes by source country

The exit code depends on where YOU are calling from. On mobile phones and VoIP apps, use + instead.

| Calling from | Exit code | You dial |
| --- | --- | --- |
| United States / Canada | 011 | 011 964 ... |
| United Kingdom | 00 | 00 964 ... |
| Australia | 0011 | 0011 964 ... |
| Most of Europe | 00 | 00 964 ... |
| Japan | 010 | 010 964 ... |
| From a mobile / VoIP app | + | +964 ... |

## Iraq phone number format

Country code +964

Trunk prefix 0 (drop when dialing from abroad)

Example +964 1 234 5678

## Common mistakes

- ✕ Keeping the leading 0 when dialing from abroad. Drop it — it is only for domestic calls within Iraq.
- ✕ Using the wrong exit code. Each country has its own (US: 011, UK: 00). On mobile, just use +.
- ✕ Forgetting the country code +964. Without it, the call will fail or route locally.

## Country codes that get mistaken for +964

A wrong country code does not fail cleanly. It connects — to a stranger in another country — and it bills. These are the codes a caller most plausibly dials instead of +964 when calling Iraq.

- +965KuwaitOne digit away[Guide](https://telvio.app/how-to-call/kuwait/)

The reliable habit is to store Iraq numbers with the plus sign and the full code — +964 — rather than typing them each time. A number saved in full international form dials correctly from any country you happen to be in, and removes the whole class of mistake above.

## Calling out of Iraq

To dial an international number from inside Iraq, start with the exit code 00, then the destination country code, then the number without its own trunk prefix. The exit code belongs to the country you are calling FROM, not the one you are calling.

On a mobile, press and hold the 0 key until a plus sign appears and dial the number in full international form instead. The plus tells the network to work out the exit code itself, so the same saved number dials correctly whether you are at home or abroad — no need to remember 00 at all.

## Frequently asked questions

What is the country code for Iraq?

The country code for Iraq is +964. Dial this after your exit code (or use + on a mobile) before the local number.

How do I call Iraq from the United States?

From a landline: dial 011 + 964 + the local number. From a mobile or a VoIP app like Telvio: dial +964 + the local number — the + works from any country without knowing its exit code.

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

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

What is the exit code to call Iraq from my country?

The exit code depends on where you are calling FROM, not the destination. The US uses 011, the UK and most of Europe use 00, Australia uses 0011. On any mobile phone or VoIP app, you can use + instead.

Can I call Iraq mobile phones internationally?

Yes. Dial the country code +964 followed by the mobile number (without the leading 0). VoIP apps like Telvio make this easy — just enter the full number with country code.
