92 Country Code: Pakistan (+92)
Country code 92 (+92) belongs to Pakistan. Pakistan uses the international dialing code +92, assigned by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) under the E.164 standard. The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is PK.
You will see the same code written several ways depending on origin: +92 (universal + prefix, works from mobile), 0092 (from countries that use 00 as their international exit code — most of Europe, Asia, and Latin America), 011 92 (from the US and Canada), 0011 92 (from Australia), or the bare 92. All refer to the same Pakistan country code.
Pakistani mobile numbers always start with 3 after the country code (3XX — e.g. Jazz 300/301/302, Zong 310/311). Landlines use 2-digit area codes for the largest cities (Karachi 21, Lahore 42, Islamabad 51) and 3-digit codes elsewhere, always dialed with a leading 0 inside Pakistan. Drop the 0 when calling from abroad.

Calling Pakistan Successfully: Common Mistakes & Best Practices
Most failed calls to Pakistan come from one of four mistakes, not from network problems. The most common is mishandling the leading 0: domestically, Pakistan numbers are written with 0 at the front (e.g. 03012345678), but that 0 is the domestic trunk prefix and must be removed when calling from outside Pakistan. Dial +92 followed directly by the local number without the 0.
The second is misreading the area code on landline numbers — Pakistan area codes are not uniform length (Karachi 21, Lahore 42, Islamabad / Rawalpindi 51), so confirm the city before dialing. The third is dialing during off-hours — Pakistan uses Urdu business hours and consumer phones are usually answered between 8 AM and 9 PM local time. The fourth and most expensive mistake is assuming your US carrier's WiFi calling feature makes the call cheap. It does not — see WiFi calling vs VoIP for international calls for why.
For scam-call awareness: +92 is the legitimate Pakistan country code, and most unsolicited calls from +92 numbers are legitimate calls from Pakistan-based businesses, hospitals, family members, or call centers serving US customers. Caller-ID spoofing exists, so if a call from a +92 number claims to be from a US government agency, your bank, or the IRS, hang up and call the agency back on its published number. Real authorities never demand payment over the phone.
When you are ready to place a call, the cheapest reliable route is to dial +92 from your browser using Kinvo — no app, no carrier add-on, and the per-minute rate is shown before you connect so there are no bill surprises.
