International Dialing Pakistan
This is the international dialing code used when dialing from Pakistan. International Dialing Pakistan Code is also known as Pakistan International Direct Dialing prefix (or IDD) is used when dialing from the Pakistan to outside Pakistan (sometimes also refers to as Pakistan international access code). Do not use Pakistan IDD code when dialing within Pakistan. By simply using the Pakistan Dialing Code before the number, it unables you to place a call to outside Pakistan from within Pakistan.

To dial a international number outside Pakistan from within Pakistan, you have to dial International Dialing Pakistan Code or Pakistan International Direct Dialing prefix (IDD), Pakistan Country Code, City/ Area Code, and then the subscriber telephone number respectively as:
+92 (International Dialing Pakistan Code) + (Country Code) + City Area Code + Number you wish to call.
When dialing from a mobile phone outside Pakistan from Pakistan, only Dial '+' + (Country Code) + City Area Code + Number you wish to call. (The "+" is universal mobile international direct dialing prefix also includes Pakistan)
On the other hand, when dialing to Pakistan from outside Pakistan, a Pakistan Country Code is used. Pakistan Country Code however is not used when dialing within Pakistan.
The other type of code is Pakistan National Direct Dialing prefix (or NDD). It is used only when dialing to a destination within the Pakistan (Refer to dialing Pakistan code). Pakistan NDD code is only used as long distance dialing within the Pakistan. Do not use Pakistan National Direct Dialing prefix when dialing from outside Pakistan into Pakistan.
