The number
Drop the 0
Drop the leading 0: a mobile written 0300 becomes +92 300, and Karachi's 021 becomes +92 21. Pakistani landline area codes run from two to four digits, so the length after the country code is not fixed.

02When
When to call
Pakistan is on UTC+5 all year and abandoned daylight saving in 2009, so it is 9 hours ahead of New York in summer and 10 in winter. Early morning in the US is late afternoon in Karachi.
Family calls, and a high proportion of them to landlines in households where the older generation does not use a mobile.
03Cost
What a minute costs
Which of those applies is read off the digits you type, so you are never asked to guess whether a Pakistan number is a landline or a mobile. Services that ask you to pick quote one of these prices and are wrong whenever the guess is.

05Questions
Common questions
How do I call Pakistan from the US?
Dial 011, then 92, then the Pakistan number. Drop the leading 0: a mobile written 0300 becomes +92 300, and Karachi's 021 becomes +92 21. Pakistani landline area codes run from two to four digits, so the length after the country code is not fixed. From a browser on Airlophone there is no exit code at all: you type the number starting +92 and the price for that exact number appears before it dials.
What is the country code for Pakistan?
+92. From the US you dial 011 first to leave the country, so the full string begins 011 92. From the UK and most of Europe the exit code is 00 instead, and from Australia it is 0011.
How much does it cost to call Pakistan?
On Airlophone it starts at $0.49 a minute, billed per minute with part of a minute counting as a full one. The exact price depends on the band: landline $0.49, mobile $0.59 per minute. The band is read from the digits of the number itself, so you are never asked to guess whether a number is a landline or a mobile. Calling the same number on a mobile carrier's international direct dial or while roaming is charged separately by that carrier and is normally a great deal more.
What is the best time to call Pakistan from the US?
Pakistan is on UTC+5 all year and abandoned daylight saving in 2009, so it is 9 hours ahead of New York in summer and 10 in winter. Early morning in the US is late afternoon in Karachi.
Do I need an app or a SIM card?
No. Airlophone runs in a browser tab, so there is nothing to install and no SIM to buy, and it works the same on a laptop you have borrowed. The person you call needs nothing either: the call arrives on the ordinary phone network, so their phone rings whether it is a landline or a mobile and whether or not they have internet.
