Dialing Tips

  • Remove the leading 0: When dialing internationally, drop the trunk prefix (0) that is used for domestic calls in Philippines.
  • Use the + notation: From a US mobile phone, use +63 instead of 011 63.
  • Verify the number length: Numbers in the Philippines have 10 digits for mobiles and 6 to 10 for landlines after +63. If your call does not connect, check that no digit is missing or doubled.
  • Save contacts in international format: Always store phone numbers with the full +63 prefix so they work from any country.
