Yemen at a glance
The numbers and facts you need before you dial.
What is the country code for Yemen?
Yemen answers to +967. Its plan is compact and easy to read once you know the logic: a single digit (1 through 7) identifies the landline region — 1 for Sana'a, 2 for Aden — while every mobile sits in the 7-range. Domestically those landlines carry a trunk 0; from abroad you drop that 0 and dial +967, then the area or mobile code and the subscriber number.
Code +967 was assigned to Yemen 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 Yemen.
How to call Yemen from anywhere
The one detail to get right is the trunk 0. Dial your exit code, then 967, then the national number with that leading 0 removed. A Sana'a line written 01 xxx xxx at home becomes +967 1 xxx xxx the moment you call it from another country.
Full example: +967 1 XXX XXXX — drop the local leading 0 when calling from abroad.
Yemen phone number format explained
Yemen keeps two clean shapes. A landline is a single-digit region code (1–7) followed by a 6-digit subscriber number; a mobile opens with 7 and carries an 8-digit subscriber number, for 9 digits in all once +967 is attached.
Landline
Region code 1–7 plus 6 digits, e.g. Sana'a +967 1 234 567. The leading 0 (e.g. 01) appears only when dialing inside the country.
Mobile
Always starts with 7, e.g. +967 7xx xxx xxx. The second digit marks the originally assigned carrier (70, 71, 73, 77, 78).

Yemen mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +967 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.
Yemen Mobile
Sabafon
Y (formerly known as the "Y" / YOU-branded GSM network)
Yemeni Omani United (formerly MTN Yemen)
Yemen time zone
Yemen runs on Arabia Standard Time (AST), UTC+3, every month of the year — there's no daylight-saving switch to track, and the whole country keeps the same clock. That puts it in step with Riyadh and one hour behind the UAE.
For diaspora families and partners abroad, Sana'a mornings (9:00–12:00) line up with the Gulf and the start of the European day; early-to-mid afternoons (14:00–16:00) catch the US East Coast as it comes online.

Common mistakes when calling Yemen
Almost every failed international call is a formatting issue, not a network issue.
Dialing the retired +969: Before unification in 1990, South Yemen used +969. It no longer exists
every Yemeni number today is reached through +967, regardless of north or south.
Carrying the trunk 0 abroad: Drop the leading 0 when calling internationally
it's +967 1..., not +967 01...

Reading the current carrier off the prefix: Operator branding has shifted over the years, so 70/71/73/77/78 marks the originally assigned network, not necessarily today's

Tips to reduce the cost of calling Yemen
Route calls through VoIP or a virtual number rather than paying premium IDD rates to Yemen.
Where the connection allows, place the call over Wi-Fi or data with an app instead of the international circuit.
Keep a Yemen virtual number so family or partners reach a local +967 line at domestic rates.
Pick a business plan that bundles Middle East destinations at a flat rate if you call the region regularly.

Yemen +967 — FAQ
Did Yemen ever have a different country code?expand_more
Yes — South Yemen used +969 before the 1990 unification. That code is retired; unified Yemen dials entirely on +967.
How do I tell a Sana'a number from an Aden one?expand_more
By the region digit: Sana'a is 1 (+967 1...) and Aden is 2 (+967 2...).
Why do I drop the 0 when calling from abroad?expand_more
The 0 is a domestic trunk prefix only; internationally +967 replaces it, so it's +967 1..., never +967 01...
Can I tell a landline from a mobile at a glance?expand_more
Yes — mobiles always start with 7, while landlines open with a single region digit 1–7.
Does the mobile prefix tell me the current carrier?expand_more
Not reliably. 70/71/73/77/78 marks the originally assigned operator, and branding has changed over the years.

It shares UTC+3 with Saudi Arabia and runs one hour behind the UAE, with no daylight saving to track.
