Libya Calling Code FAQ
- What is the calling code for Libya?
- +218. From abroad, dial your exit code (or +), then 218, then the national number. If a Libya number is written domestically with a leading 0, drop that 0 after +218.
- Is it +218 or 218?
- Same code. +218 is the portable form for contacts and mobiles. 218 is what follows an exit code, for example 011 218… from the US.
- Do I drop the leading 0?
- Yes, if the number is written domestically with a leading 0: 0XX… → +218 XX… (drop the 0 after +218).
