Iraq numbering plan & how to dial
Iraq uses an open numbering plan under country code +964. After the country code, a 2-digit area or mobile prefix is followed by a 7-digit subscriber number, giving a 9-digit national number. Domestic numbers are often written with a leading trunk "0" that is omitted when dialing Iraq from abroad.
Iraq has 50% internet penetration and is served by 3 major mobile networks (Zain Iraq, Asia Cell, Korek Telecom). VoIP is permitted and regulated by Communications and Media Commission (CMC). The local currency is IQD and the primary language is Arabic, Kurdish, which shape IVR prompts, SMS content, and business-hours handling.
Asian markets range from fully liberalised to licensed-only VoIP, so compliant routing and correct local caller ID have an outsized effect on answer rates.
Skipping the exit code
From the US you must dial 011 before the +964 country code to reach Iraq.
Keeping the national trunk "0"
If a Iraq number is written with a leading 0 for domestic use, omit that 0 after the +964 country code when calling from abroad.
Ignoring the time difference
Iraq runs on UTC+3. Check local hours before dialing so calls don't land outside business time.
