A Libyan phone number in international format is written as +218 [area code without leading 0] [subscriber]. Drop the leading 0 internationally. Example: +218 21 234 5678 for Tripoli (domestic 021), +218 91 234 5678 for an Al-Madar mobile (domestic 091).
Libyan mobile numbers all start with 9: 091, 093 Al-Madar Al-Jadid; 092, 094 Libyana; 095 LibyaPhone. Drop the leading 0 internationally: +218 91, +218 92 etc. All Libyan mobiles are 9 digits domestic (after the leading 0).
From Tripoli's Red Castle to Benghazi's Mediterranean harbour to the Saharan oasis of Sebha, every Libyan number lives behind a +218.
Every country uses a different exit code before +218 Libya. From any mobile, + replaces the exit code — so +218 21 234 5678 works worldwide. Always drop the leading 0.
