Iraq numbering plan & how to dial
Iraq's numbering plan is open, sitting under country code +964: a 2-digit prefix followed by a 7-digit local number, 9 digits combined. Numbers are often shown with a leading "0" for domestic use — drop it when dialing in from abroad.
With 50% internet penetration, Iraq is covered by 3 major carriers — Zain Iraq, Asia Cell, Korek Telecom. VoIP is permitted and regulated by Communications and Media Commission (CMC). IVR prompts, SMS copy, and business hours here should account for the local language (Arabic, Kurdish) and currency (IQD).
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"
Iraq numbers often show a domestic leading 0 — drop it once you've dialed the +964 country code from outside the country.
Ignoring the time difference
UTC+3 governs local business hours in Iraq; confirm the time there before placing the call.

FAQ
Calling Iraq — frequently asked questions
Baghdad is the capital of Iraq. A local +964 number is recognisable to callers there and nationwide, which is part of why presenting local caller ID tends to improve answer rates across the whole country, not just the capital.
No license restriction beyond standard regulation — Communications and Media Commission (CMC) permits VoIP in Iraq for compliant operators. That keeps setup straightforward for a Twiching customer looking to call or text into the country.
A full national Iraq number is 9 digits after the +964 country code — a 2-digit area or mobile prefix plus a 7-digit subscriber number. Getting this length right matters: too few or too many digits and the call simply won't connect.
No — Iraq isn't part of the NANP. It has its own country code, +964, under the international E.164 numbering system, which is why calls from the US need the 011 exit code first.
Iraq is in Asia. 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.
Zain Iraq is among the largest networks in Iraq, and Twiching interconnects directly with it for Tier-1 delivery. Direct interconnects like this are what keep call quality and answer rates consistent instead of relying on lower-tier transit.
