Instructions for Calling to Cities within Pakistan
For international calls to Pakistan, dial your international access code first (011 in the U.S.), followed by the country code of 92. After the country code, dial the area code and subscriber number you need to call. e.g. For a call to Quetta, dial, 011-92-81-xxx-xxxx.
For a domestic long distance call to Quetta, be sure to dial a 0 before the area code: 0-81-xxx-xxxx. If you’re calling locally within the same area code, dial only the 4-7-digit subscriber number.
