Dialing Azerbaijan: A Quick Guide To Calling The Country

To dial a number in Azerbaijan, you need to follow the international dialling format. First, dial the exit code of the country you are calling from (for example, 011 for the US or 00 for the UK), then the country code for Azerbaijan (994), followed by the area code and phone number. For mobile numbers, the initial 0 of the Azerbaijani number is usually omitted.

Dialing from a mobile phone

To dial a number in Azerbaijan from a mobile phone, you need to follow the international dialling format. The exact steps will depend on the country you are calling from.

If you are calling from the US, first dial 011, which is the exit code for the United States. Next, dial 994, which is the country code for Azerbaijan. Then, dial the 8-to-9-digit phone number you are trying to reach. Note that you do not need to include the trunk prefix (0) used in local calls within Azerbaijan. For example, to reach the US embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan, a caller in the United States would dial 011-994-12-498 0335.

If you are calling from the UK, dial 00, the UK exit code, followed by 994, the country code for Azerbaijan. Then, dial the 8-to-9-digit phone number you want to reach. For instance, a caller in the UK would dial 00-994-12-498 0335 to reach the US embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan.

If you are calling from Canada, the process is the same as for the US: first, dial the exit code, 011, then the country code, 994, and finally the 8-to-9-digit phone number.

If you are using a local SIM card in Azerbaijan, you only need to dial 0 followed by the 8-to-9-digit phone number to make a local call within Azerbaijan. To call a number outside of your area code but within Azerbaijan, dial the trunk prefix, 0, followed by the area code and the local number.

Dialing from a landline phone

To dial a number in Azerbaijan from a landline phone, you will need to follow these steps:

First, dial the international access code for your country. This code will depend on where you are calling from. For example, the international access code is 011 for North America, 00 for the UK and other European countries, and 0011 for Australia.

Next, dial the country code for Azerbaijan, which is 994. This is sometimes referred to as the International Subscriber Dialing Code (ISD Code).

Then, dial the area code for the specific location in Azerbaijan you are trying to reach. For example, the area code for Baku is 12, while the area code for Jebrayil is 118.

Finally, dial the local number, excluding the 0 at the beginning of the number. The local number will typically be seven digits long, but it may vary depending on the region and type of phone number.

Please note that the dialing procedure may vary slightly depending on the country you are calling from and the specific location in Azerbaijan you are trying to reach. It is always a good idea to check the current dialing codes and instructions for your specific country and region.

Dialing from an office phone

To dial a number in Azerbaijan from an office phone, you will need to follow a few steps. First, you must dial the phone code in the office to reach the local connection. You will hear a long beep, after which you dial 994, the country code for Azerbaijan. Wait for another beep and then enter the area code and phone number. Please note that some offices may not require you to dial a code to access an external line.

The full number sequence will look like this:

[Office phone code] + 994 [area code] [phone number]

For example, if you are calling the US embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan, from the United States, the number would be 011-994-12-498 0335. Here, 011 is the exit code from the US, 994 is the country code for Azerbaijan, 12 is the area code for Baku, and 498 0335 is the local number.

If you are calling from a different country, make sure to use the correct exit code. For example, the exit code for the UK is 00, so the number to dial from the UK to reach the same number in Azerbaijan would be 00-994-12-498 0335.

Additionally, if you are calling a mobile phone number in Azerbaijan, you may need to dial the operator number before the phone number. For example, to reach a mobile phone number starting with 050, you would dial 050 123 4567.

Dialing internationally from Azerbaijan

To make an international call from Azerbaijan, you will need to follow the international dialing format.

Firstly, you must dial the exit code or international access number of the country you are calling from. For many countries, this is 00, but it is 011 from North American Numbering Plan (NANP) areas, which include the US and Canada.

Secondly, you must dial the country code of the country you are calling. For example, the country code for the UK is 44, for the US it is 1, and for Azerbaijan, it is 994.

Thirdly, you dial the area code, omitting any initial 0, followed by the local phone number.

So, to call the US embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan, from the United States, you would dial 011-994-12-498-0335. From the UK, you would dial 00-994-12-498-0335.

If you are calling a mobile phone number in Azerbaijan from another country, you can usually leave out the area code and simply dial 00 or 011 followed by 994 and then the local mobile number. For example, 00-994-50-123-4567 or 011-994-50-123-4567.

If you are using a VoIP service such as Skype, you can usually skip dialing the exit code and simply dial the country code followed by the local number.

Making a local call

To make a local call within Azerbaijan, you need to dial the local number. For example, if the local number is 498 0335, you simply dial that number.

If you are calling within Azerbaijan but outside of your area code, you need to dial the trunk prefix, which is 0, followed by the area code and the local number. For example, if you are calling the American embassy in Baku from Ganja, you would dial 012-498 0335.

The trunk prefix is used to make calls inside Azerbaijan. If you are using a local SIM card, you only need to dial the 0, followed by the phone number.

If you are calling a mobile phone number from a landline within the same town, you would dial the seven-digit number without the area code. For example, you would dial 123 45 67.

If you are calling a mobile phone number from a landline outside of your area code, you would dial the operator number, for example, 050, followed by the mobile number. For example, you would dial 050 123 45 67.
