Calling the Philippines from the UAE, Step by Step
Use these straightforward steps to reach Philippine landlines and mobiles, whether from a UAE line or right in your browser.
UAE Exit Code
On a UAE landline, start with the international prefix 00 ahead of the country code. From a mobile or VoIP line, the plus sign + works in place of 00 before the country code.
Philippines Code (+63)
Enter the country code +63, which sends your call into the Philippine numbering plan.
Area Code and Number
Next add the landline area code, or the mobile number with its leading 0 dropped. For instance, +63 2 reaches Manila and +63 917 reaches a Globe mobile.
