Kyrgyzstan Phone Number Format

Country code +996 — Complete guide to Kyrgyzstan phone number formats, mobile and landline structures, and area codes.

Number Format Overview

Phone numbers in Kyrgyzstan use the international country code +996. When dialing from outside Kyrgyzstan, you must include this country code before the local number.

From the United States

Dialing Tips

  • Remove the leading zero: When dialing internationally, drop the trunk prefix (usually 0) that is used for domestic calls in Kyrgyzstan.
  • Use the + notation: From a US mobile phone, use +996 instead of 011 996.
  • Verify the number length: Make sure you have the correct number of digits. If your call does not connect, check whether you need to add or remove an area code digit.
  • Save contacts in international format: Always store phone numbers with the full +996 prefix so they work from any country.
