How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in the Maldives

The Maldives uses country calling code +960, and Maldivian numbers are typically 7 digits long. One helpful simplification: the Maldives has no national trunk prefix, so when you dial within the Maldives you usually dial the full 7-digit number exactly as written (no leading “0” to add). When calling the Maldives from overseas, you dial your international exit code (or + on a mobile), then 960, then the 7-digit local number (for example, +960 XXX XXXX).

The main difference between landlines vs mobiles is the starting prefix rather than geography. Fixed lines use specific 3-digit prefixes tied to Malé/Hulhumalé and the atolls (followed by a 4-digit subscriber number), while mobiles generally fall into ranges beginning with 7 (commonly Dhiraagu allocations) or 9 (commonly Ooredoo allocations). In practice, if you’re saving contacts for travel or international calling, storing them in +960 format is the easiest way to keep them working across SIMs and apps.

What are the emergency numbers in Maldives

In the Maldives, commonly listed emergency contacts include 102 (Ambulance), 118 (Fire), 119 (Police), and 191 (Coast Guard).

What are the city and area codes in the Maldives

Dialing tip: Maldives “area codes” are effectively fixed-line prefixes inside the 7-digit number. If you have the correct 7 digits, you dial them the same way domestically, and internationally you dial +960 plus those 7 digits (no trunk “0” to remove).

Which mobile prefixes do mobile operators use in the Maldives

Dialing tip: The Maldives has mobile number portability (so people can keep their number when switching providers), which means a 7x or 9x prefix may reflect the original allocation and won’t always prove the current operator.
