Bhutan phone numbers

International +975 17 12 34 56, E.164 +97517123456

The numbering plan of Bhutan: formats, lengths, the regular expression for each line type and the prefix blocks allocated to each carrier, as ITU publishes it. A pattern says what a number looks like and where it was allocated; whether it is in service, and who serves it today, is a different question (below).

Test a pattern

Tick the line types you accept, copy the combined pattern, and paste numbers to see which range each one falls in. Numbers are reduced to their national digits first (no spaces, no +975, no trunk prefix); nothing leaves your browser.

Walk the prefixes

Type the first digits of a number in national form, or tap them: the operators holding blocks under those digits, then the block a full prefix falls in. 3 blocks held by 2 operators are on record.

Line types and their regular expressions

Match each pattern against the national significant number: digits only, without the trunk prefix and without +975. The patterns follow the national numbering plan and are anchored here.

Questions developers ask

How many digits does a phone number in Bhutan have?
Mobile numbers have 8 national digits. Fixed line numbers have 7 national digits (6 when dialled locally). That is the national number, without the country code +975.
What is the country code for Bhutan?
+975. From abroad, dial your own exit code, then 975, then the national number. From inside Bhutan, the exit code for international calls is 00.
Which prefixes are mobile numbers in Bhutan?
Mobile numbers start with 16, 17, 77 or 87 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 17 12 34 56). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator.
Can a mobile number in Bhutan be ported to another carrier?
Not on record. The plan data this page is built from does not list mobile number portability for Bhutan, so the carrier a prefix was allocated to is likely, not certainly, the carrier serving the number. Only a live carrier lookup (an HLR or MNP query) confirms it.
