Understanding Omani Phone Numbers

Oman uses the country code +968. It operates on a closed numbering plan, meaning all phone numbers within Oman are 8 digits long following the country code. You do not need to dial a separate city or area code when calling from abroad.

Landline Numbers

  • Format from US: 011 + 968 + XXXXXXXX (8-digit number)
  • Omani landline numbers are 8 digits long. Numbers typically start with 2. For example, numbers in Muscat often start with 24XXXXXX, Salalah with 23XXXXXX, and other regions with 25XXXXXX or 26XXXXXX.

Mobile Numbers

  • Format from US: 011 + 968 + XXXXXXXX (8-digit number)
  • Omani mobile numbers are also 8 digits long and generally start with the digits 7 or 9. Specific ranges are allocated to different operators.

Omani Numbering Plan (No Separate Area Codes for Dialing)

When calling Oman from the US, after dialing 011 + 968, you dial the subscriber's complete 8-digit national number. Oman employs a closed numbering system, meaning traditional regional area codes are integrated into the 8-digit number and are not dialed separately.

The first digit(s) of the 8-digit number indicate the type of service and sometimes the original service provider or general region for fixed lines:

Starting Digits of 8-digit Number (after +968) Service Type / General Region / Operator Association
23 XX XX XXFixed Lines - Dhofar Governorate (e.g., Salalah)
24 XX XX XXFixed Lines - Muscat Governorate
25 XX XX XXFixed Lines - Al Batinah, Al Dhahirah, Al Buraimi, Musandam Governorates
26 XX XX XXFixed Lines - Al Sharqiyah, Al Wusta Governorates
71 XX XX XX, 72 XX XX XX, 78 XX XX XX, 79 XX XX XXMobile Phones (Vodafone Oman)
90 XX XX XX to 99 XX XX XXMobile Phones (Generally Omantel & Ooredoo, specific ranges vary)

Note: This table provides general guidance. Always confirm the exact 8-digit number. Mobile number portability is active.

Omani Mobile Phone Prefixes

Omani mobile phone numbers are 8 digits long after the +968 country code. They typically begin with 7 or 9.

Operator Common Mobile Prefixes (Start of 8-digit number after +968)
Omantel91X, 92X, 93X, 98X, 99X (examples)
Ooredoo Oman94X, 95X, 96X, 97X (examples)
Vodafone Oman71X, 72X, 78X, 79X (examples)

*Mobile Number Portability is active in Oman, so the prefix does not always guarantee the current service provider. The 'X' represents further digits.

Time Difference

Oman operates on Gulf Standard Time (GST), which is UTC+4, year-round. Oman does not observe Daylight Saving Time.

The time difference compared to the US East Coast (ET):

  • When the US is on Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC-4, typically March to November): Oman is 8 hours ahead of ET. (e.g., 12 PM EDT is 8 PM in Oman).
  • When the US is on Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC-5, typically November to March): Oman is 9 hours ahead of ET. (e.g., 12 PM EST is 9 PM in Oman).

Oman's Phone System

Oman has a modern and well-developed telecommunications infrastructure, regulated by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA). The country has made significant investments in fiber optics and mobile broadband, including extensive 4G/LTE coverage and the rollout of 5G services. The main telecommunications operators are Omantel (the incumbent) and Ooredoo Oman, with Vodafone Oman being a newer entrant in the mobile market. These providers offer a comprehensive range of fixed-line, mobile voice and data, and internet services. Oman's numbering plan is closed, with all phone numbers being 8 digits long after the +968 country code.

Best Times to Call

Considering Oman is 8-9 hours ahead of US Eastern Time (ET):

  • For business calls from the US East Coast, very early morning ET is generally the best. For example, 8 AM - 10 AM ET would correspond to 4 PM - 6 PM or 5 PM - 7 PM in Oman.
  • The typical work week in Oman for many businesses is Sunday to Thursday, with business hours often around 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM GST.
