Questions about +962
Which country is +962?
+962, or country code 962, belongs to Jordan, the only country that dials it.
What is +962?
+962 is the part you dial before a Jordanian number when you call from another country. It replaces the 0 at the start of the number.
What is the difference between +962 and 00962?
The + stands for your exit code. 00 is the exit code in Jordan and most of the world, so 00962 and +962 reach the same number there. From the US and Canada, dial 011 962 instead.
Do I drop the 0 after +962?
Yes. The 0 is Jordan's trunk prefix and works only inside the country. Dial +962 6 200 1234, not +962 06 200 1234.
Can I text a +962 number?
Yes. Write the number as +962 without its first 0, and your carrier sends the text abroad at its international rate.
