How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Bhutan

Bhutan’s country calling code is +975. From abroad to a landline, dial your exit code → 975 → the 1-digit area code → the 6-digit local number. Inside Bhutan there’s no long-distance trunk “0”—you dial the area code + 6 digits. International calls placed from Bhutan use the 00 exit prefix. Example landline (Thimphu): +975 2 3XXXXX.

Mobiles vs landlines: Mobile NSNs are 8 digits. Dial mobiles internationally as +975 {mobile prefix} XXXXXX—notably 17 for Bhutan Telecom (B-Mobile) and 77/87 for TashiCell (87 added in May 2025). There’s no extra “0” to add or drop. Example mobiles: +975 17 XXXXXX (BTL), +975 77 XXXXXX / +975 87 XXXXXX (TashiCell).

Dialing tip: From the U.S./Canada, dial 011 975 + area + 6-digit number. From elsewhere, use your country’s exit code in place of 011. There is no trunk “0” in Bhutan.

Which mobile prefixes do mobile operators use in Bhutan
