Uzbekistan numbering plan & how to dial
Uzbekistan uses an open numbering plan under country code +998. 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 Uzbekistan from abroad.
Uzbekistan has 80% internet penetration and is served by 3 major mobile networks (UCell, Beeline Uzbekistan, Uzmobile). VoIP is restricted and Agency for Communication and Information (UzACI) licenses only approved operators. The local currency is UZS and the primary language is Uzbek, 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 +998 country code to reach Uzbekistan.
Keeping the national trunk "0"
If a Uzbekistan number is written with a leading 0 for domestic use, omit that 0 after the +998 country code when calling from abroad.
Ignoring the time difference
Uzbekistan runs on UTC+5. Check local hours before dialing so calls don't land outside business time.
Using non-compliant routes
VoIP into Uzbekistan is restricted by Agency for Communication and Information (UzACI); grey routes are blocked or dropped, so licensed termination is required for reliable delivery.
Restricted — UzACI licensed only
Regulated by Agency for Communication and Information (UzACI)
- VoIP requires a license from UzACI; unauthorized operators face regulatory penalties.
- International VoIP bypass traffic is prohibited and subject to monitoring.
- Operators must comply with SORM-style lawful interception requirements.
