How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Syria

Syria’s country calling code is +963. Within Syria, phone numbers are commonly dialed with a trunk prefix 0 for calls outside your local area or when dialing mobiles (for example, 0 + area code + local number for landlines, and 0 + mobile operator code + subscriber number for mobiles). If you’re calling Syria from abroad, dial your international exit code (or +), then 963, then the number without the leading 0—so 011… → +963 11… and 094… → +963 94…. 

Landlines in Syria use geographic area codes (e.g., Damascus 11, Aleppo 21, Latakia 41), and the subscriber number length can vary by region. Mobile numbers use operator/range prefixes such as 093/098/099 (Syriatel) and 094/095/096 (MTN Syria), followed by the subscriber digits; internationally you’ll typically see them formatted like +963 93X XXX XXX or +963 95X XXX XXX. The most reliable habit for travelers and messaging apps is to store every Syrian contact in E.164 format as +963 plus the rest of the number (with no domestic leading 0).

What are the emergency numbers in Syria

What are the city and area codes in Syria
