Dialing Formats
To call a fixed-line number in Al Baidha from abroad, you must dial the international prefix (e.g., 00 or +), followed by Yemen's country code 967, then the area code 655 (without the leading trunk prefix '0'), and finally the local subscriber number. For example, if the local number is 123456, the international format is +967 655 123456.
When calling domestically from another part of Yemen, you must first dial the trunk prefix 0, then the area code 655, and then the subscriber number. Thus, the domestic dialing format is 0 655 123456.
Local calls within the same area code may be made using only the subscriber number, depending on the local exchange's configuration. However, it is always safe to use the full national format when in doubt.
