Always drop the leading 0

Moroccan phone numbers are written locally with a leading 0 (e.g., 0612345678), but when dialing internationally, always omit this 0 and use +212 instead. Dial +212612345678, not +2120612345678.

Mobile numbers start with 6

Moroccan mobile numbers begin with 06 (locally) or 6 (internationally after +212). When you see 06XXXXXXXX in Morocco, dial it as +212 6XXXXXXXX from France.

Landlines start with 5 or 8

Fixed-line numbers in Morocco start with 05 or 08 (locally), corresponding to +212 5XX or +212 8XX internationally. Include the full area code when dialing.

Total length after +212

Most Moroccan numbers have 9 digits after the country code, making a complete international number 13 digits including the +212 prefix.
