How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Afganistan?

Afghanistan uses the country calling code +93 with a closed national plan. From abroad, dial your country’s exit code → 93 → the two-digit area code (omit the leading 0) → the 7-digit subscriber number. Inside Afghanistan, long-distance calls use the trunk prefix 0, and international calls use 00. Typical formats: Kabul landline +93 20 XXX XXXX and mobile +93 7X XXX XXXX.

Mobile services dominate connectivity, with multiple operators using distinct 07x prefixes for routing and number allocation. Landline area codes are two digits by city (e.g., 20 for Kabul, 30 for Kandahar). Note that MTN Afghanistan completed its exit in 2024–2025 and now operates as ATOMA, but its historical 076/077 number ranges remain in use under the new ownership/brand.
