Pakistan phone number types

The first digits of a Pakistan 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 Pakistan phone number, as dialed inside Pakistan and from abroad.

Type	Inside Pakistan	From abroad
LandlineStarts with the area code. Karachi and Lahore numbers are 8 digits and start with 3, other cities are usually 7	(021) 23456789	+92 21 23456789
MobileStarts with 03. The regulator limits the next digit to 0 through 6, before 8 more digits	0301 2345678	+92 301 2345678
Toll-freeStarts with 0800. Five more digits follow, free for a landline caller inside Pakistan	0800 123 45	+92 800 123 45
Business numberStarts with the area code. The next three digits are always 111, as in 021 111 for Karachi	(021) 111 825 888	+92 21 111 825 888
Personal numberStarts with 1. Pakistan uses this range for national helplines and short codes, not an ordinary line	1220 44444	+92 1220 44444
Premium rateStarts with 0900. Costs more than a call to a standard number	0900 123 45	+92 900 123 45

Emergency number

1122

15 reaches the police, 16 the fire brigade, and 115 the Edhi Foundation's ambulance service.

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, national numbering plan

The numbering plan sets aside three-digit codes for national helplines: 117 for railway enquiries, 118 for the electricity utility, and 130 for the motorway police.

Karachi and Lahore's landline numbers grew from 7 digits to 8 in a single day, on 1 July 2009.
Wikipedia: Telephone numbers in Pakistan
A Universal Access Number always starts with its area code, then 111, so Karachi's begin 021 111.

The Edhi Foundation runs Pakistan's 115 ambulance line and is now the world's largest volunteer ambulance service.

Before 2004 Pakistan had no organised emergency medical system. A pilot that year in Lahore grew into the nationwide 1122 rescue service.
