Maldives Country Code

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.
