Philippines calling cards vs dialling direct

Skip the scratch card. Keep the minutes.

A calling card asks for an access number and a long PIN before the number you actually want, every single call. With a SIP app you dial +63 and the number, the way you call anyone else.

With a calling card you dial an access number, then a PIN, then the Philippine number: three steps and more than 35 digits. Dialling direct is one step: +63 and the 10-digit mobile number.Calling card1. ACCESS NUMBER1 800 XXX XXXX2. PIN FROM THE CARDXXXX XXXX XXXX3.

Manila landline numbers

An old Manila number is one digit short.

On 6 October 2019 every landline on area code 02 gained a digit at the front, chosen by the phone company. Numbers saved before then no longer connect. Provincial numbers did not change.

A Manila landline written (02) 123 4567 before 6 October 2019 became 8 digits by adding the operator's digit in front: 8 for PLDT, 7 for Globe, 5 for Eastern.BEFORE 6 OCT 2019(02) 123 4567no longer ringsSINCE THEN: ADD THE OPERATOR'S DIGIT(02) 8123 4567PLDT(02) 7123 4567Globe(02) 5123 4567Eastern

FAQ

Calling the Philippines: your questions

Reviewed 28 October 2026.

What is the country code for the Philippines?

The Philippines' country code is +63, and a local number loses its leading 0: a mobile 0917 123 4567 becomes +63 917 123 4567, and Manila 02 becomes +63 2.

How do I call the Philippines from the USA?

Start with 011 63 and skip the 0 at the front: 011 63 917 123 4567 for a mobile, 011 63 2 8123 4567 for a PLDT line in Manila. On a cell phone or SIP app, +63 replaces 011 63.

How do I call the Philippines from Canada?

011 63 works from Canada too, since it uses the US exit code. Then comes the number minus its leading 0. A cell phone can use +63 instead.

How do I call the Philippines from Australia?

From Australia it is 0011 63, followed by the number less its 0, or +63 on a mobile. Manila is 2 or 3 hours behind Sydney, depending on the season.

How do I call the Philippines from the UK, Saudi Arabia or Japan?

The UK and Saudi Arabia use 00 63 and Japan uses 010 63. After that comes the Philippine number less its 0. A + typed on any mobile does the same job.

How do I call a Philippine mobile?

Philippine mobiles start 09 and have 11 digits at home. Drop the 0 and dial +63 9XX XXX XXXX. The prefix shows the network that first issued the number, but since 2021 people can keep their number when they switch.

Why doesn't my Manila number work?

Manila landlines gained a digit on 6 October 2019. Old 7-digit numbers need the operator's digit in front: 8 for PLDT, 7 for Globe, 5 for Eastern. (02) 123 4567 became (02) 8123 4567 for a PLDT line.

What does a call to the Philippines cost?

$0.0225 a minute, the same for a mobile in Davao as for a Manila landline, and nothing is charged to connect. Talk to Nanay for 25 minutes and it comes to $0.56; $20 covers 888 minutes.

Do I need a Philippines calling card?

No. A Philippines card has you key in more than 35 digits before Nanay's phone rings. With us you tap +63 9XX XXX XXXX from your contacts, $0.0225 a minute to any Philippine mobile or landline.

Why does a Philippine mobile number say it is not in service?

The Philippines made everyone register their SIM by 25 July 2023, and SIMs that were not registered were switched off for good. If an old number stopped working around then, ask for their new one and save it.

Is it cheaper to call a Philippine mobile or a landline?

Neither, with us. One rate covers every Philippine number, mobile or landline.

What time is it in the Philippines?

The Philippines is on UTC+8 all year, with no daylight saving. Manila is 15 or 16 hours ahead of Los Angeles and 12 or 13 ahead of New York, so your afternoon is their next morning.

Can I call a Philippine 1800 number from abroad?

Rarely. A Philippine 1800 line is free to call from inside the country, and most refuse international callers. Ask the company for an 02 landline or a 09 mobile instead.

Every Philippine phone, no card. 888 minutes for $20.
