How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan uses country code +996, area codes for landlines, a domestic long-distance trunk 0, and international prefix 00 for calls placed from Kyrgyzstan.

From abroad → landlines: exit code → 996 → area code (drop the 0) → subscriber. Example (Bishkek): +996 312 2xx xxx; (Osh): +996 3222 xxxxx.

From abroad → mobiles: exit code → 996 → mobile prefix (no leading 0) → six digits. Example: +996 770 xxx xxx / +996 555 xxx xxx / +996 700 xxx xxx.

Within Kyrgyzstan: landlines to another city use 0 + area + number (e.g., 0312 …, 03222 …); mobiles dial the full 5x/7x/9x pattern.

From Kyrgyzstan to other countries: 00 + country code + number (or + on mobiles).
