+62 explained
The Indonesia country code, 62, is what you dial before a Indonesia number when you call from abroad. It is also known as the Indonesia dialing code, Indonesia calling code, or Indonesia phone code. In the Indonesia phone number format, +62 comes first, then the area code, such as 21 for Jakarta, then the local number.

Indonesia phone number types
The first digits of a Indonesia number tell you what kind of number it is: a landline, a mobile, a free number, or one that costs more to call. Here is a sample of each type of Indonesia phone number, as dialed inside Indonesia and from abroad.
Good to know before you call Indonesia
“Halo”
Indonesia's own dictionary defines halo as the word that opens a phone call, not just a general hello

Emergency number
112
110 reaches the police, 113 the fire service, and 119 an ambulance. A 112 call is answered only where the local government runs a 112 centre, so use these numbers elsewhere.
Kementerian Komunikasi dan Digital, Layanan 112112 has been Indonesia's official single emergency number since 2016.
Peraturan Menteri Kominfo No. 10 Tahun 2016, Pasal 3(1)By the end of 2025, a 112 call centre ran in only 179 cities and regencies, plus Jakarta province.
Kementerian Komunikasi dan Digital, Layanan 112In September 2026 two ministries and Bali's government agreed to run 112 as one emergency line across Bali, before a nationwide rollout over the next two years.

The 0 is still in the number
The 0 of 021 or 08 is for calls inside Indonesia. From abroad, leave it out: +62 takes its place, so 0812 becomes +62 812.

The number does not take calls from abroad

Questions about +62
Which country is +62?
+62, or country code 62, belongs to Indonesia. Every Indonesian number, from Aceh to Papua, is reached with +62.
What is +62?
+62 is the part you dial before an Indonesian number when you call from another country. It replaces the first 0, so 021 for Jakarta becomes +62 21.
What is the difference between +62 and 0062?
The + stands for your exit code. From Europe and most of the world the exit code is 00, so 0062 and +62 reach the same number. From the US and Canada, dial 011 62 instead.
Do I drop the 0 after +62?
Yes. The 0 is the Indonesian trunk prefix and works only inside Indonesia. Dial +62 21 1000 0000, not +62 021 1000 0000.
Can I text a +62 number?
Yes. Drop the 0 of the 08 mobile prefix and write +62 8 and the rest of the number.
How much does it cost to call Indonesia?
Mobiles start with 08 and landlines with an area code such as 021. The dialer on this page shows the exact price of the number you enter before you call.
Does 112 work everywhere in Indonesia?
Not yet. 112 is the official single emergency number, but only regions with a local 112 centre answer it. Elsewhere, call 110 for the police, 113 for fire, or 119 for an ambulance.
Why do Indonesian mobile numbers have different lengths?
Each mobile network sets its own subscriber number length within what the numbering plan allows, so a Telkomsel number and an Indosat number do not need to match in digit count.
