Telephone numbers in the Philippines follow an open telephone numbering plan and an open dial plan. Both plans are regulated by the National Telecommunications Commission, an attached agency under the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC).
The Philippines is assigned an international dialling code of 63 by ITU-T. Telephone numbers are fixed at seven digits, with area codes fixed at one, two, or three digits (the six digits system was used until the mid-1990s; four to five digits were used in the countryside). When making long-distance calls in the Philippines, use the prefix 0 for domestic calls and 00 for international calls.
