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
