What is the Pakistan country code?
Everything you need to dial a Pakistan number correctly from a UK phone.
+92
The Pakistan country code is +92. Dialling from the UK? Use 0092 instead of the + — they do exactly the same thing.
How to dial a Pakistan number from the UK
Dial 0092 + area code + local number for landlines, removing any leading zero. For mobiles, dial 0092 + the 10-digit number.
Example: Lahore landline: 0092 42 + 7-digit number. Mobile: 0092 300 + 7-digit number.
00 or +? Either works
Typing +92 (hold the 0 key on most phone keypads to get a +) is the international standard and works automatically wherever you're calling from. 0092 is the UK's own way of dialling out internationally — both reach exactly the same number.

What is the Pakistan country code?
The Pakistan country code is +92. When dialling from a UK phone, replace the + with 0092 instead.
Do I dial 00 or + to call Pakistan from the UK?
Either works on most modern phones — typing "+" (hold 0 on most keypads) and the country code is the international standard and works automatically. The 00 prefix is the UK-specific way of dialling out internationally and does exactly the same thing.
Does this work for mobiles as well as landlines?
Dial 0092 + area code + local number for landlines, removing any leading zero. For mobiles, dial 0092 + the 10-digit number.
Is there a free way to call Pakistan that doesn't need a dialling code at all?
Yes — WhatsApp, FaceTime and similar apps call over data instead of the phone network, so there's no country code to dial at all. They're free if the person you're calling also has internet, but aren't a substitute for reaching a landline or someone without a smartphone.
