International Dialing Oman
This is the international dialing code used when dialing from Oman. International Dialing Oman Code is also known as Oman International Direct Dialing prefix (or IDD) is used when dialing from the Oman to outside Oman (sometimes also refers to as Oman international access code). Do not use Oman IDD code when dialing within Oman. By simply using the Oman Dialing Code before the number, it unables you to place a call to outside Oman from within Oman. Without this international dialing Oman Code, you will not able to place a call outside the Oman because the telephone exachange will not reconginize it as a valid international call.
To dial a international number outside Oman from within Oman, you have to dial International Dialing Oman Code or Oman International Direct Dialing prefix (IDD), Oman Country Code, City/ Area Code, and then the subscriber telephone number respectively as:
+968 (International Dialing Oman Code) + (Country Code) + City Area Code + Number you wish to call.
When dialing from a mobile phone outside Oman from Oman, only Dial '+' + (Country Code) + City Area Code + Number you wish to call. (The "+" is universal mobile international direct dialing prefix also includes Oman)
On the other hand, when dialing to Oman from outside Oman, a Oman Country Code is used. Oman Country Code however is not used when dialing within Oman.
The other type of code is Oman National Direct Dialing prefix (or NDD). It is used only when dialing to a destination within the Oman (Refer to dialing Oman code). Oman NDD code is only used as long distance dialing within the Oman. Do not use Oman National Direct Dialing prefix when dialing from outside Oman into Oman.
