Iran phone number format
How do you format a Iran phone number?
Write a Iran phone number with the country code +98. A mobile looks like 0912 345 6789 inside Iran and +98 912 345 6789 from abroad, dropping the leading 0. Mobiles have 10 digits after the country code, and the E.164 form is +989123456789. Format alone never shows a line is in service.
Free, runs in your browser; nothing is sent. The sample is a sample, not a real line.
Paste your Iran numbers (a mixed list is fine). They are counted here at once; the free checker then gives every number its E.164 form, country and line type, with a file to download.

These are the example numbers from Google’s libphonenumber data, the same numbering-plan data our validator uses, written three ways.
| Format | Mobile | Landline |
|---|---|---|
| National (inside Iran) | 0912 345 6789 | 021 2345 6789 |
| International | +98 912 345 6789 | +98 21 2345 6789 |
| E.164 | +989123456789 | +982123456789 |
How to write a Iran number in E.164
- Remove spaces, dashes, dots and brackets so only digits are left.
- If the number starts with the trunk prefix 0, remove it. It is only used when dialling inside Iran.
- Put +98 in front. The result has 10 digits after the country code for a mobile.
So 0912 345 6789 becomes +989123456789. E.164 is the format SMS gateways, dialers and most CRMs store; see the E.164 format explained for why.
Mobile or landline?
Iran allocates separate number ranges to mobiles and landlines, so a numbering-plan check reads the line type straight from the digits, for free. That type describes the range the number came from. It doesn’t prove the number is connected today.
Mobile, landline and special number ranges in Iran
A Iran mobile number starts with 900–905, 91, 920–923, 93, 990–994, 9951, 9955, 996, 9981–9983, 9988, 9990–9993, 9995–9999 after +98. Every valid number of each type below starts with one of the digit groups shown. A number that starts the right way can still be unassigned: the groups say what a range is for, not that a number is connected.
| Type | Starts with, after +98 | Dialled inside Iran | Digits | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile | 900–905, 91, 920–923, 93, 990–994, 9951, 9955, 996, 9981–9983, 9988, 9990–9993, 9995–9999 | 0900–0905, 091, 0920–0923, 093, 0990–0994, 09951, 09955, 0996, 09981–09983, 09988, 09990–09993, 09995–09999 | 10 | +98 912 345 6789 |

Common questions
- What is the country code for Iran?
- The country calling code for Iran is +98. When you call Iran from abroad, dial your international prefix (or +) followed by 98 and the number without its leading 0.
- How many digits is a Iran phone number?
- A Iran mobile number has 10 digits after the country code +98, and a landline has 6, 7 or 10. Written for dialling inside Iran, a number gains the trunk prefix 0 in front.
- How do I write a Iran number in international format?
- Start with +98, drop the leading 0, then add the rest of the number. The mobile number 0912 345 6789 becomes +98 912 345 6789, or +989123456789 in E.164, the form most CRMs and SMS tools expect.
- Can you tell if a Iran number is a mobile?
- Usually, yes. Iran numbers come from ranges allocated separately to mobiles and landlines, so a numbering-plan check reads the line type from the digits. It tells you what the range is for, not whether the number is in service.
- Does a valid format mean a Iran number is in service?
- No. A valid format means the digits fit a range Iran's numbering plan allocates. It cannot tell whether the number is connected today or who carries it, because numbers are reassigned and ported. A live carrier lookup reports the current carrier and line type, but even that does not prove someone answers.

- Yes. Paste them in the list tab above or upload a CSV to the bulk phone number validator: E.164, country, format status and numbering-plan line type are free for every row, with no account. Live carrier and line-type lookups come with Pro + Phone at $49.99/mo (5,000 a month).
