Jordan Country Code (+962): How to call Jordan

Jordan’s country calling code is +962. To call Jordan from another country, dial +962 followed by the Jordanian area or mobile code without its domestic leading zero, then enter the subscriber number.

For example, an Amman landline written locally with the 06 area code becomes +962 6 followed by the seven-digit local number when you call from abroad. Using the +962 format is usually the simplest option on a mobile phone because the plus symbol replaces the international access prefix used in the country you are calling from.

How to call Jordan from abroad

To call a Jordanian landline or mobile number from another country, use the international format rather than the way the number appears locally. The exact international access prefix varies by country, but the + symbol works as a convenient replacement on most mobile phones.

1. Enter +962, Jordan’s country calling code.
2. Remove the leading 0 from the Jordanian area or mobile code.
3. Enter the remaining area or mobile code.
4. Dial the subscriber number.

For example, if an Amman number appears locally as 06 123 4567, dial +962 6 123 4567 from abroad. Similarly, a Jordanian mobile number beginning with 07 should normally begin with +962 7 in international format.

However, do not add both an international access prefix and the plus symbol. Use either the plus-format number, such as +962 6 123 4567, or your country’s international access prefix followed by 962.

Jordan phone number format

Jordan uses the international country calling code 962. The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission states that callers from outside Jordan should follow the country code with the national significant number and omit the domestic escape digit 0.

Jordanian fixed-line numbers use an eight-digit national significant number after the country code, while mobile numbers use nine digits. Consequently, an international Jordanian phone number usually starts with +962 and then continues with the regional or mobile code and subscriber number.

Jordan landline format

A fixed-line number can appear locally in a format such as 06 123 4567. From outside Jordan, the same structure becomes +962 6 123 4567.

Jordan mobile format

A mobile number normally starts with 07 when written for domestic use. When calling from another country, remove the initial zero and use +962 7 followed by the remaining mobile digits.

Jordan area codes

Jordan groups fixed-line numbers into geographic regions. Therefore, you may see several towns and cities share the same main regional code even though the following digits identify more specific local areas.

More detailed numbering ranges sit within these regional codes. For instance, the national numbering plan assigns specific number blocks within 02 to Irbid, Jerash, Ajloun and Mafraq, while 03 contains specific ranges for Aqaba, Ma’an, Tafileh and Karak.

Therefore, do not assume that every destination has its own single-digit city code. In Jordan, the regional code and the next digits together help route the call to a particular area.

How to call a mobile phone in Jordan

Jordanian mobile numbers use the 07 range for domestic dialling. From outside Jordan, drop the first zero and dial +962 7 followed by the remaining digits.

For example, a mobile number written locally as 07X XXX XXXX becomes +962 7X XXX XXXX internationally. Because Jordan supports mobile number portability, you should not rely on a mobile prefix alone to identify the person’s current network operator.

Moreover, saving the number with +962 makes it easier to call or message the same contact when you move between countries.

Calling Jordan from different countries

The +962 format works on most mobile phones worldwide. However, landlines and some older telephone systems may require the international access prefix used in the country where you are making the call.

Nevertheless, using +962 on a mobile phone usually avoids the need to remember the international exit code for each country.

How to save a Jordanian number in your phone

Save Jordanian contacts in full international format, starting with +962 and omitting the domestic leading 0. This format works well when you travel, use roaming or switch between local and foreign SIM cards.

For example, save an Amman landline as +962 6 123 4567 rather than 06 123 4567. Likewise, save a Jordanian mobile number as +962 7X XXX XXXX.

As a result, your phone can usually use the same stored contact whether you call from inside or outside Jordan.

Using WhatsApp and other internet calling services

Messaging and internet calling apps commonly use the phone number stored in your contacts to identify another user. Therefore, save Jordanian numbers in +962 international format before trying to find the contact in an app.

An app-based voice or video call uses an internet connection rather than a conventional international telephone call. Consequently, your mobile network’s standard international calling rate may not apply, although mobile data or Wi-Fi charges can still matter.

Service availability, call quality and app features can change, so check the service you intend to use before relying on it for an important call.

Emergency numbers in Jordan

Jordan’s national numbering plan identifies 911 as an emergency access code. Jordanian government information also lists other service-specific emergency numbers, including 193 for ambulance services and 199 for the fire service.

If you are travelling in Jordan, save essential emergency information before you need it. In addition, keep the contact details for your travel insurer, accommodation provider and relevant embassy or consulate somewhere you can access without relying solely on one device.

Jordan time and the best time to call

Before making an international call, check the current local time in Jordan rather than assuming the time difference from your home country remains constant throughout the year. Time-zone rules and seasonal clock changes can differ between countries.

As a result, a convenient calling time at home may fall early in the morning or late at night in Jordan. Check the local time shortly before placing personal or business calls.
