How to Call Philippines from Hong Kong

Clear dialing steps and examples so your first call to the Philippines goes through.

1

Exit Code or the Plus Sign

On a Hong Kong landline you can dial your carrier's international prefix, for example 001 or 002. For mobile and browser-based calling, just put + ahead of the country code.(Intercalling dials with + on the web)

2

Philippines Code (+63)

Enter +63 to connect to the Philippines from Hong Kong.

3

Drop the Leading Zero

Strip the 0 that locals dial at home. Landlines keep their area code (e.g., 2 for Manila). Mobiles lose the 0, leaving the 9 or 10 digit subscriber number.Tip: The mobile examples below use the proper international format.

Dialing Examples

From abroad you dial +63 followed by the area code or mobile subscriber number. None of the local trunk prefixes apply.

Mobile Number Rules

What to know about Philippine mobile numbers when you call from overseas.

Drop the 0

Philippine mobiles start with a 0 when dialed locally. Calling internationally, you remove that zero and prefix +63. So 0917 123 4567 turns into +63 917 123 4567.

+63 917 123 4567

Landlines vs Mobiles

Landline area codes differ in length but stay short, with 2 for Metro Manila. Mobile prefixes are uniform and sit right after +63 as the first digits.

Manila area code example: +63 2

Calling Philippines from Hong Kong: what to know

Philippines answers on the country code +63, with the capital in Manila and most business concentrated around Manila, Cebu and Davao. The working language for business is Filipino (Tagalog), English, and local offices generally keep hours of 9:00 to 18:00; BPO industry runs 24/7. Friday traffic to US-aligned BPO clients peaks 21:00 to 04:00 PHT.

From Hong Kong the outbound access code is 001, so a manual dial reads 001 then +63 then the local number. Intercalling removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between Hong Kong and Philippines.

Most mobiles in Philippines sit on operators such as Globe Telecom, Smart Communications (PLDT), DITO Telecommunity. English is widely used in business; voice-call culture is strong because of the dominant BPO industry.

Philippines runs on UTC plus 8, and it does not observe daylight saving, so the time difference stays constant through the year.
