Common Issues When Calling Philippines

Dialing Code

Dropping the 0 from 09XX mobile numbers

Philippine mobile numbers start with 09 domestically (e.g. 09XX-XXX-XXXX, 11 digits). When calling internationally, drop the leading 0: dial +63 9XX-XXX-XXXX (10 digits after country code).

Routing

Globe vs Smart routing can affect connectivity

The Philippines has two major carriers: Globe (0917, 0927) and Smart (0918, 0919, 0920). Cross-network calls occasionally experience routing delays. If calls drop, retry after a few minutes.

Quality

Internet-based calls affected by typhoon season
