Dialing Tips

Remove the leading zero: When dialing internationally, drop the trunk prefix (usually 0) that is used for domestic calls in Maldives.
Use the + notation: From a US mobile phone, use +960 instead of 011 960.
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 +960 prefix so they work from any country.
