The numbering plan of Macao: 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 +853, 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. 209 blocks held by 4 operators are on record.

Questions developers ask
- How many digits does a phone number in Macao have?
- Mobile numbers have 8 national digits. Fixed line numbers have 8 national digits. That is the national number, without the country code +853.
- What is the country code for Macao?
- +853. From abroad, dial your own exit code, then 853, then the national number. From inside Macao, the exit code for international calls is 00.
- Which prefixes are mobile numbers in Macao?
- Mobile numbers start with 62, 63, 65, 66 or 68 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 6612 3456). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator.
- Can a mobile number in Macao be ported to another carrier?
- Not on record. The plan data this page is built from does not list mobile number portability for Macao, 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.
