Papua New Guinea Country Code

How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea’s country calling code is +675. In PNG, the easiest way to think about dialing is by number type and length. Traditional geographic landlines are commonly 7 digits and are grouped by broad regions using the leading digit (for example, numbers starting with 3 are used for the National Capital District/Central area, while 4/5/6/9 map to other regions). Mobile numbers are typically 8 digits and commonly start with 7 (and some allocated mobile ranges start with 8). Within PNG, you normally dial the full national number as written, and from abroad you dial +675 followed by the national number (no extra “0” to drop). 

If you’re calling from Papua New Guinea to another country, PNG’s international call prefix is widely listed as 00 (for example: 00 + country code + number), though on many mobiles you can also dial using the + sign. For best reliability (especially for roaming, WhatsApp verification, and contact syncing), save all PNG numbers in international format: +675 plus the full landline (7 digits) or mobile (8 digits).
