To reach a Morocco number from the United States, dial these three parts in order.
011 212 6 50 12 34 56
From any mobile, anywhere in the world, you can dial +212 6 50 12 34 56 instead. Press and hold 0 to type the +, and the phone picks the right access code for wherever you are.
Numbers in Morocco are written locally with a 0 in front, like 06 50 12 34 56. Calling from abroad you leave that 0 out, so it becomes +212 6 50 12 34 56.
A Morocco mobile number is 9 digits after +212. If a call does not connect, count the digits first.
Only the first part changes. Your access code replaces the 011, then 212 and the number stay exactly the same.
A ~ means wait for the second dial tone before dialing the rest. It is not a digit you press.
Every new account starts with $1.00 in free credit to try it, no card needed. After that, calls to Morocco are $1.50 a minute, billed by the minute with no connection fee, no monthly plan, and no minimum spend. You top up prepaid credit from $5, and it never expires.
Only for the time you actually talk.
Top up once, use it whenever.
Any number, nothing to install.
The people dialing into Morocco are overwhelmingly its own diaspora, one of the largest emigrant populations relative to home size anywhere: roughly 6.2 million Moroccans abroad, about 72% of them in Europe - Moroccan diaspora. The single biggest calling corridor is France to Morocco (around 1.55 million people of Moroccan origin), followed by Spain (~920,000), Italy (~680,000), Belgium (~410,000), and the Netherlands (~390,000) - Moroccan diaspora. These are not abstract statistics: they are the daily calls from Amsterdam and Rotterdam to Nador and Al Hoceima in the Rif, from Brussels to Tangier and Tetouan, and from Paris and Marseille to Casablanca and Rabat. Remittance flows track the same lines, with MRE transfers among the country's largest sources of hard currency - Moroccan diaspora, and a wire transfer is almost always preceded by a phone call.
From the United States, the corridor is smaller but concentrated and business-heavy. Calls run from the Washington DC and northern Virginia area, New York, Boston, Florida, and the Bay Area into Morocco, driven by a mix of family ties, a fast-growing tourism and riad-booking trade, offshoring and call-center operations in Casablanca and Rabat, and automotive and aerospace supply work near Tangier. Because so many Moroccan households keep a European SIM in the family, a US caller often finds the person they want reachable on a French 06 or Spanish 6xx number rather than a Moroccan 06, so confirm which country the number actually belongs to before dialing.
Calling out of Morocco, the destinations mirror the map above in reverse: France first, then Spain, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands, plus the Gulf (Saudi Arabia, the UAE for work) and increasingly the US and Canada for students and family. The one hard mechanic to know is that the international access code from inside Morocco is 00 - Telephone numbers in Morocco. So a person in Rabat calling a French mobile dials 00 33 then the number, and calling a US number dials 00 1 then the ten US digits. Morocco has no alternate carrier-select prefixes to memorize the way some countries do; 00 is the universal exit code across Maroc Telecom, Orange, and Inwi. Many Moroccans lean on WhatsApp for the Europe leg because data is cheap and near-universal, but for reaching a landline, a business switchboard, a bank, or an older relative who does not use apps, a real dialed call is still the reliable path.
Start with your international access, then Morocco's country code 212 (from a US phone that is 011 212; from this browser service you just enter the number in +212 form).
Drop the national trunk 0. A Casablanca landline written locally as 05 22 12 34 56 is dialed +212 522 12 34 56, and a mobile written 06 61 23 45 67 is dialed +212 661 23 45 67.
Dial the remaining 9 digits: 1 leading type digit (5 for landline, 6 or 7 for mobile) plus 8 more. The total after +212 is always 9 digits.
For a landline, keep the city code in those 9 digits (Casablanca 522, Rabat 537, Marrakech 524, Tangier 539). For a mobile, there is no city code, just 6xxxxxxxx or 7xxxxxxxx.
The number one mistake is keeping the trunk 0: locals write 06 61... or 05 22..., but from abroad you drop that leading 0 and dial +212 661... or +212 522... - Telephone numbers in Morocco. Every Moroccan number is 9 digits after +212, no exceptions for mobile versus landline. If a number you were given is only 8 digits, it is a pre-2009 number missing its added digit: prepend 5 for a fixed line or 6 for a mobile before dialing - Telephone numbers in Morocco. Avoid 08xx service numbers from abroad (080 toll-free and 089 premium often do not connect internationally) and use the branch's 05 geographic line instead - Telephone numbers in Morocco.
The biggest source of confusion with old Moroccan numbers is the 2009 renumbering. On 7 March 2009, Morocco lengthened every number by one digit: a 5 was prepended to all fixed lines and a 6 was prepended to all mobiles, turning 8-digit national numbers into today's 9-digit ones - Telephone numbers in Morocco. That is why an old business card, an out-of-date website, or a relative's scribbled note may show a number that is one digit short. If a Moroccan number you have is missing a digit and starts with 2x (like 22 for Casablanca) or 6x, it predates the reform: prepend the 5 or 6 to make it dialable. Mobile demand later overflowed the 6-block, so 7-series mobiles (07) were opened as well, and both 06 and 07 are now normal, valid mobiles - Telephone numbers in Morocco.
Number portability adds a second layer of confusion. The prefix no longer reliably tells you the carrier. A number that looks like an Orange 06xx may actually ride on Inwi or Maroc Telecom after the owner switched and kept their digits. Morocco runs a full mobile-number-portability regime overseen by the regulator ANRT, and in 2021 it introduced a RIO code (a 12-character operator identity string the subscriber requests to authorize a port), with portability requests climbing from 1.4 million in 2022 to 1.7 million in 2023 - Morocco shortens number portability deadline. ANRT also cut the switch time from two days to one - Morocco shortens number portability deadline. None of this changes how you dial, but it means you cannot infer someone's network from their number.
Hard-to-reach lines are a real thing here. Banks, ministries, embassies, and the big utilities often publish a 08xx number: 080 ranges are toll-free or shared-cost and 089 ranges are premium-rate - Telephone numbers in Morocco. From abroad, 08xx service lines are frequently not reachable at all or behave unpredictably; the fixed 05 geographic number for the same branch usually works better internationally. Emergency and short service codes (police, ambulance, gendarmerie) are national short numbers and are not dialable from outside Morocco, so never try to reach a Moroccan emergency line from a US browser - Telephone numbers in Morocco. Spam and scam calls are a live nuisance inside Morocco, so a Moroccan on the receiving end may be cautious about an unfamiliar foreign caller ID; a heads-up over WhatsApp before you ring an elderly relative goes a long way.
Morocco uses a closed numbering plan: the national significant number is always 9 digits, and locals must dial all of them (there is no shorter local form that drops the area code) - Telephone numbers in Morocco. The leading digit of the 9 tells you the type: 5 is a geographic fixed line, 6 or 7 is a mobile, and 8 is non-geographic (toll-free, premium, and VoIP-style services) - Numbering, ANRT. Written nationally the number carries a trunk 0 in front, which is why you see landlines as 05 XX XX XX XX and mobiles as 06 XX XX XX XX or 07 XX XX XX XX.
The practical reading trick: strip the leading 0, look at the first remaining digit. A number beginning 05 24 is a Marrakech landline; 06 61 or 07 70 is a mobile that could be anywhere in the country. Only fixed 05 numbers carry a place; 06/07 mobiles are nationwide and tell you nothing about location - Telephone numbers in Morocco. Three operators share the whole space: Maroc Telecom (Itissalat Al-Maghrib), Orange Maroc (formerly Meditel), and Inwi (formerly Wana) - Telephone numbers in Morocco.
Fixed-line area codes sit in the 05 2x, 05 3x, and 05 5x/6x/8x families and are genuinely geographic. Casablanca is the giant, sitting on 05 22 (with 05 20 and 05 21 added by Orange to expand capacity) - Telephone numbers in Morocco. The capital Rabat uses 05 37, Marrakech 05 24, Fes 05 35, Meknes 05 35, Tangier 05 39, Oujda 05 36, and Agadir 05 28 - Telephone numbers in Morocco. Smaller centers hang off nearby codes: Tetouan and Al Hoceima in the north near Tangier's block, Nador and Berkane in the northeast near Oujda's, Essaouira, Safi, and Ouarzazate off the Marrakech and Agadir families - Telephone numbers in Morocco.
The far south, including Laayoune and Dakhla in Western Sahara, is administered by Morocco under the same +212 plan and reached with its own southern 05 28 area codes - Telephone numbers in Morocco. Because the 05 codes overlap operators (Maroc Telecom holds the historic 05 22 / 05 37 blocks while Orange was assigned parallel 05 2x / 05 3x ranges to expand a city's capacity), two neighbors in the same city can have landlines that start with different four-digit prefixes - Telephone numbers in Morocco. This never affects you as a foreign caller: you always dial the full national number after +212 regardless of the internal split.
In Morocco, the mobile is the phone. Fixed lines survive mostly for businesses, hotels and riads, banks, and government offices, while ordinary people are reachable on their 06 or 07 handset from morning to late evening. If you only have a landline for a relative, expect it to ring in an empty room; ask the family for the mobile. Both 6-series and 7-series are fully live mobile ranges, so a 07 number is not a landline or a strange VoIP line, it is just a newer mobile allocation - Telephone numbers in Morocco.
Business reachability has its own rhythm. Many offices and shops close for a long midday break and reopen in the afternoon, and Friday midday is quieter around communal prayer. Banks and administrations keep tighter hours than shops. During Ramadan, working hours compress and the whole country shifts toward the evening after iftar, so a late-afternoon call in the fasting hours often goes unanswered while the same person is very reachable after sunset. When in doubt, a Moroccan mobile answered in the early evening (local) is your surest connection.
Morocco is a single time zone with an unusually eventful recent history. From 26 October 2018 it observed permanent daylight saving at UTC+1, but with a twist found almost nowhere else: during Ramadan the clocks fell back to UTC+0 so that iftar landed at an earlier clock hour, then jumped forward again after the month - Daylight saving time in Morocco. On 20 September 2026, Morocco ended that eight-year experiment and returned to standard time UTC+0 year round - Daylight saving time in Morocco.
For a US caller today that means Morocco is 4 hours ahead of Eastern and 7 ahead of Pacific, widening to 5 and 8 from early November to mid-March. The comfortable window is late US morning into early afternoon: 10am to 2pm Eastern is 2pm to 6pm in Casablanca (9am to 1pm Eastern from early November to mid-March), catching people after the midday break and before dinner. From the West Coast, a call right after breakfast (7am to 10am Pacific) reaches Morocco at 2pm to 5pm (3pm to 6pm from early November to mid-March). Anything after about 8pm Eastern (5pm Pacific) is already past midnight in Morocco. If you scheduled a call around Ramadan, remember the country ran an hour earlier than usual in those years and life pivots to the post-sunset hours, so aim your call after iftar.
Nuisance calls are a real irritation inside Morocco, and the three operators plus ANRT periodically push against telemarketing and scam traffic. The practical effect for you is on the receiving end: a Moroccan phone showing an unrecognized foreign number, especially a +1 US caller ID, may be treated with suspicion and left to ring. Older relatives in particular are coached by family to ignore unknown numbers.
The fix is social, not technical. A quick WhatsApp or SMS heads-up ("I'll call you in 5 minutes from a US number") turns a screened call into an expected one. When you reach a business or government 08xx line from abroad and it fails, switch to the branch's geographic 05 number, which routes internationally far more reliably than the 080/089 service ranges - Telephone numbers in Morocco. And because portability means the prefix no longer names the carrier, do not try to guess a cheaper network to reach: with one flat per-country rate you dial the same way regardless of whether a number sits on Maroc Telecom, Orange, or Inwi.
Nine digits after the country code. Locally it is written with a trunk 0 in front (so 05 22 12 34 56 or 06 61 23 45 67, ten digits including the 0), but from abroad you drop the 0 and dial the 9-digit national number after +212 - Telephone numbers in Morocco.
Look at the first digit after the trunk 0. 06 and 07 are mobiles (no city code, reachable anywhere in the country), while 05 is a geographic landline tied to a city, such as 05 22 for Casablanca or 05 37 for Rabat - Telephone numbers in Morocco. Most people are reachable on their 06/07 mobile, not the landline.
It predates the 2009 renumbering. On 7 March 2009 Morocco added a digit to every number: a 5 in front of fixed lines and a 6 in front of mobiles, moving from 8 to 9 national digits - Telephone numbers in Morocco. Add the missing 5 (landline) or 6 (mobile) and the number should work.
Yes. As mobile demand outgrew the 06 block, Morocco opened 7-series (07) numbers, and they are ordinary mobiles across Maroc Telecom, Orange, and Inwi - Telephone numbers in Morocco. A 07 number is dialed exactly like an 06 one: drop the 0 and dial +212 7....
Not reliably anymore. Morocco has full mobile number portability run by the regulator ANRT, with a RIO code system since 2021 and switch times cut to one day, so people keep their number when they change networks - Morocco shortens number portability deadline. The prefix no longer names the operator. It does not matter for dialing: you reach any Moroccan number the same way at one flat rate.
Those are non-geographic service ranges: 080 is toll-free or shared-cost and 089 is premium-rate, and they frequently do not accept international calls - Telephone numbers in Morocco. Use the organization's standard 05 geographic landline (its city number) instead, which routes internationally far more reliably.
