For international callers, the country code for Pakistan (+92) replaces the trunk prefix. The international format is: +92 2434 XXX XXX. Thus, the same number would be dialed as +92 2434 712345 from abroad.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within Khairpur): If you are dialing from a landline within the same area code, you may be able to omit the area code and dial only the 7-digit subscriber number, depending on the specific local exchange configuration. However, for clarity and consistency, it is recommended to always use the full national format.
• National callers (from other cities in Pakistan): Dial 02434 followed by the subscriber number. Ensure you include the trunk prefix '0' before the area code.
• International callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 00 or +), then Pakistan's country code 92, then the area code 2434 (without the leading '0'), and finally the subscriber number.
