![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Occasionally, a particular area may change area codes. Some smaller carriers concentrated within a specific geographic area may issue four- or five-digit area codes, but these are being phased out in favor of the standard two-digit area codes. Philippine area codes for fixed-line or landline telephones are fixed at two digits, excluding Metro Manila, the province of Rizal and the cities of Bacoor in Cavite and San Pedro in Laguna, which use the area code 2. When making long-distance calls in the Philippines, the prefix 0 for domestic calls and 00 for international calls are used. Mobile phone numbers are always 10 digits (three digits for the service provider, plus a seven-digit number). Telephone numbers are fixed at eight digits for area code 02, and seven digits for area codes from 03X to 09X, with area codes fixed at one, two, or three digits (a six-digit system was used until the mid-1990s four to five digits were used in the countryside). The Philippines is assigned an international dialing code of 63 by ITU-T. Both plans are regulated by the National Telecommunications Commission, an attached agency under the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT). Telephone numbers in the Philippines follow an open telephone numbering plan and an open dial plan. ![]()
