Caller Instructions
Local callers within Bolan can often dial the subscriber number directly without the area code, but this depends on the local exchange configuration. For long-distance calls within Pakistan, dial 0 followed by 8327 and the subscriber number. International callers should dial their country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most countries), then 92, then 8327, and the subscriber number. For example, to call a Bolan landline number 1234567 from the United States, you would dial: 011 92 8327 1234567.
