Philippines Phone Number Format

The country calling code of the Philippines is +63. Landline numbers typically include an area code. When making long-distance calls within the Philippines, the prefix '0' must be added before the area code. However, this prefix is not required when making local calls within the same area code. Additionally, the country code '+63' is not needed when calling within the Philippines. It is only required for international calls to the country.

The format for writing a Philippines number is +63 (0)2xxxxxxxx

Telephone Numbers in the Philippines

Telephone numbers in the Philippines are managed under an open numbering plan, regulated by the National Telecommunications Commission. In this system, both landline and mobile phone numbers vary in length and structure.

Most mobile phone numbers in the Philippines are eleven digits long, including the initial zero, and typically start with ’09’. Landline numbers, on the other hand, are either ten or eleven digits long, depending on the area code. For example, area code ’02’ covers Metro Manila and nearby areas, while ‘032’ covers Cebu.

Local calls within the same area code do not require the area code to be dialed. However, for long-distance calls within the Philippines, the domestic long-distance access prefix 0 and the appropriate area code must be dialed. Callers must also bear long-distance charges when dialing numbers in different cities. As a result, toll-free numbers are highly beneficial for businesses that aim to be accessible nationwide. They offer an easy way for locals throughout the country to call your business without incurring long-distance call charges.

On the other hand, mobile phone numbers in the Philippines come with Local 2-Way Voice functionality. This allows businesses to display a local caller ID for outgoing calls. This feature is particularly valuable for businesses that need to establish a local presence and make calls within the country.

Telephone Operators in the Philippines

Telecommunications in the Philippines are considered well-developed, thanks to modern infrastructure. Despite deregulation since 1995, the industry is still mainly dominated by a few key players carriers, notably Globe Telecom and Smart, which hold a significant market share. However, these carriers primarily offer services within the Philippines, posing challenges for foreign companies needing local phone numbers.

To address this, United World Telecom partners with local and regional carriers, offering international virtual number solutions suitable for global businesses seeking local calling solutions in the Philippines. We provide a simple, cost-effective way for multinational companies to maintain a local presence in the country.
