Jordan at a glance
The numbers and facts you need before you dial.
What is the country code for Jordan?
Jordan's country code is +962. Dial it after your exit code to reach any Jordanian landline or mobile — whether you're calling an Amman head office, an aid organisation, or family among the country's large expatriate and refugee communities. Domestically, numbers carry a trunk 0 that you drop the moment you dial internationally.
Code +962 was assigned to Jordan by the ITU under the E.164 plan. The “+” means “dial your local international exit code”; on a mobile, press and hold 0 to type it.
All four mean the same thing — they connect your call to Jordan.
How to call Jordan from anywhere
Punch in your exit code, then 962, then the area code or mobile prefix minus its leading 0, then the subscriber number. From the Gulf, the US or Europe, the shape is the same.
Full example: +962 6 XXX XXXX — drop the local leading 0 when calling from abroad.
Jordan phone number format explained
Landlines pair a single-digit governorate zone with a subscriber number; mobiles run on a 077, 078 or 079 prefix plus 7 digits. Mobile reach matters here — with a young, highly connected population, most personal and business contact happens on 07X numbers.
Landline
0 + area code + subscriber. Amman = 06 + subscriber; international: +962 6 1234567. Other governorates use 02, 03 or 05.
Mobile
07X + 7 digits at home (e.g., 079 123 4567). International: +962 79 123 4567. Every Jordanian mobile begins with 07.

Jordan mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +962 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.
Zain Jordan
prefix 079 (market leader, formerly Fastlink)
Orange Jordan
prefix 077 (also operates the main fixed-line/broadband network)
Umniah
prefix 078
Jordan time zone
Jordan sits on UTC+3 all year. In 2022 the kingdom scrapped daylight saving entirely and froze the clock at summer time, so unlike most of Europe it never springs forward or falls back — the offset you calculate today holds every month of the year.
Because Jordan no longer shifts its clocks, these windows stay put all year. East Coast callers catch Amman best from 15:00 to 18:00 local time (your 08:00–11:00 ET). Gulf partners are nearly in step — Amman trails Dubai by just an hour. Note the Jordanian week runs Sunday to Thursday, with Friday the main day off.
Common mistakes when calling Jordan
Almost every failed international call is a formatting issue, not a network issue.
Assuming Jordan still does daylight saving: it doesn't
Assuming Jordan still does daylight saving: it doesn't. Since 2022 the country is fixed on UTC+3 year-round, so a meeting you scheduled by an old "+2 in winter" assumption will be an hour off. Treat the offset as constant.
Keeping the leading 0: drop the trunk 0 after +962 (dial +962 6…, never +962 06…)

Forgetting Amman's area code is a single 6: it's one digit, sitting right after the trunk 0

Confusing mobile prefixes with landline zones: mobiles are 077, 078 or 079
never a 2/3/5/6 governorate code.
Reading the prefix as the operator: portability means a 079 number that began on Zain may now run on Orange or Umniah

Tips to reduce the cost of calling Jordan
Route Jordanian calls over VoIP or a virtual +962 line rather than paying carrier international tariffs
a real saver for teams calling a large diaspora.
Reach Amman 6 and other governorate landlines where you can; fixed lines usually undercut 07X mobile termination.
Use the fixed UTC+3 (no DST) to lock recurring call times that never need re-checking, and remember the Sunday–Thursday work week.
Stay off premium short codes and value-added ranges.
