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.

IMPORTANT RULES
Keep these rules in mind to avoid failed calls or wrong numbers when dialing Jordan from Palestine.
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.
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.
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.
Don't confuse the two โ 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.

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