Quick Tips

  • Drop the leading 0 when dialing from abroad (e.g., 021 becomes +218 21)
  • Mobile numbers always start with 9 after the country code
  • Landline area codes are 2 digits for most cities
  • Phone service may be unreliable in some regions due to infrastructure issues

Important Note

When calling within Libya, use the leading 0 before area codes. International calls require +218 without the 0.
