Phone numbers in Turkmenistan (+993)

+993 is the calling code of Turkmenistan. The trunk prefix is 8 and the international prefix 8, then 10 after a second dial tone. Every mobile number starts with 86 or 87 when written nationally, with the trunk prefix, and no other type of number in the plan does. Read from libphonenumber’s numbering metadata (release 9.0.41), never from a number anyone typed.

Dialling and writing numbers in Turkmenistan

The trunk prefix is dialled in front of a number inside the country and dropped after the calling code; the international prefix is dialled to call out of it. The lengths and the leading digits below say which numbers the plan accepts and what their first digits tell you about the line type.

Lengths count the national significant number, the digits after the calling code, without the trunk prefix. Every value is read from libphonenumber’s metadata, release 9.0.41, which a lookup runs on.

This is libphonenumber’s example mobile number, formatted by libphonenumber. An example number can be in service, so read it as notation and never dial or text it.

The numbering plan for Turkmenistan

Every phone lookup starts from the numbering metadata: it settles whether a number is valid for Turkmenistan, how it is written nationally and internationally, and which line type its range belongs to. The example numbers below are libphonenumber’s examples of each line type’s format; one may be in service, so read them for their shape and never dial or text one as a test.

The regulator table behind a lookup here

Spaw syncs no regulator block table for Turkmenistan, so a lookup here answers from the numbering metadata alone: the format, the line type and the region of a number, with block_status null and carrier the original network of the range where the metadata’s carrier data names one (carrier_source numbering_plan), else null.

What a lookup answers for a number here

Every number the plan accepts for Turkmenistan comes back with its formats, its line_type and line_type_source, its region and timezones, and the is_fictional and is_disposable flags from the bundled fiction ranges and the synced list of SMS-receiving numbers. With no regulator table here, block_status answers null, and carrier is the range’s original network where the numbering metadata names one (carrier_source numbering_plan), else null.

That carrier is the network libphonenumber’s carrier data names for the range, its original allocation. It says nothing about who serves one number today, and a name can be one the network no longer trades under.

Asia/Ashgabat: the whole country keeps one clock, so a lookup answers that zone for every number here.

Run the lookup
