Oman Country Code

How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Oman

Oman’s country calling code is +968. Oman uses an 8-digit closed numbering plan and has no national trunk prefix (no leading “0” to add or remove). So within Oman, you typically dial the full 8-digit number as given. From abroad, dial your international exit code (or +), then 968, then the same 8 digits—for example +968 24XX XXXX (fixed line) or +968 9XXX XXXX (mobile). Oman’s international dialing prefix (for calls made from Oman to other countries) is commonly 00. 

The main difference between landlines vs mobiles in Oman is the leading block of digits. Fixed lines commonly start with 22xx / 23xx / 24xx / 25xx / 26xx, which are associated with regions and operators (e.g., 24xx is widely used for Muscat, and 23xx for Dhofar/Al Wusta). Mobile numbers use ranges like 71–72, 78–79, and 90–99, depending on the operator and allocation. For the most reliable calling and messaging (especially when traveling), store Omani numbers in international format as +968 plus the full 8 digits. 

What are the emergency numbers in Oman

For emergencies in Oman, 9999 is the primary number widely published for police/emergency assistance (and is also used for ambulance dispatch in many references). 999 is also commonly published for Civil Defence/Fire, and 112 may work and be redirected depending on the network.
