Local callers (within Pakistan): If you are dialing from another city or region, you must include the trunk prefix 0 before the area code.

Always ensure you have the correct 7-digit local number.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan updates, there is no overlay code for the 684 area. The code is exclusively assigned to fixed-line services in the Rahim Yar Khan district. Mobile numbers in Pakistan are non-geographic and begin with 3 (e.g., 0300, 0321), so they are not affected by this area code. If you are unsure whether a number is fixed or mobile, note that fixed-line numbers in this region always start with the digits 684 after the trunk prefix or country code.

For businesses and residents in Rahim Yar Khan, it is essential to use the correct dialing format to avoid call routing errors. Always verify the local number length (7 digits) and the area code before placing a call.
