IMPORTANT RULES

Dialing Rules for Calling Jordan from Palestine

Keep these rules in mind to avoid failed calls or wrong numbers when dialing Jordan from Palestine.

Always drop the leading 0

Jordanian phone numbers displayed domestically include a leading 0 (e.g., 06 for Amman or 079 for Zain mobile). When dialing internationally from Palestine, omit this 0. Dial 962 6 instead of 962 06.

Use 00 or + as your exit code

The international access prefix from Palestine is 00. On mobile phones, the + symbol (hold 0) works as well and is often easier. Both connect you to the international network.

Jordanian mobile numbers are 9 digits

After the country code +962, Jordanian mobile numbers are 9 digits long (2-digit operator prefix + 7-digit subscriber number). Landlines are 8 digits (1-digit area code + 7-digit subscriber number). If your number doesn't match these lengths, double-check it.

Country code +970 is for Palestine, not Jordan

Don't confuse the two — Jordan is +962 and Palestine is +970. If someone in Jordan is calling you back, they should dial 00 970 followed by your Palestinian number.

Watch for DST timing differences

Palestine and Jordan are usually in the same time zone (EET, UTC+2) but switch to summer time on different dates. During DST transitions there can briefly be a 1-hour difference. Confirm the current time in Jordan before calling.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Common Issues When Calling Jordan from Palestine

Cross-border calls between Palestine and Jordan can sometimes face connectivity hurdles. Here are common issues and how to resolve them.

Call won't connect at all

Double-check you've dialed the full sequence: 00 + 962 + area/mobile code (without leading 0) + subscriber number. If you're calling a Jordanian mobile, the number after +962 should be 9 digits. For landlines, it should be 8 digits.

You hear a 'number not in service' message

You may have left in the leading 0 from the Jordanian domestic format. Remove it and try again. For example, if the local number is 079 123 4567, dial 00 962 79 123 4567 (not 00 962 079...).

Call drops or has poor audio quality

International call routing between Palestine and Jordan can experience congestion, especially during peak hours. Try calling at an off-peak time, or use Sayfone's browser-based calling for a more reliable internet-routed connection.

High charges from your local carrier

Palestinian mobile carriers may charge premium rates for international calls to Jordan. Check your carrier's rate card, or switch to Sayfone at $0.50/min for transparent, predictable pricing with no hidden fees.

Network restrictions or intermittent outages

Telecommunications infrastructure in Palestine can be affected by various factors. If you're unable to make calls, try using a Wi-Fi-based calling service through your browser as an alternative to the traditional phone network.
