The number
Drop the 0
Manila's area code is a single digit, 2, so a Manila landline reads +63 2 followed by eight digits. Numbers written locally as 02 or (02) drop that leading zero, and mobile numbers written 0917 become +63 917.

02When
When to call
The Philippines is 12 hours ahead of US Eastern in summer and 13 in winter, and does not use daylight saving. Late evening on the US East Coast is the following midday in Manila, which is the only comfortable window.
Overwhelmingly family calls, and a corridor where the person being called often has a landline in a household that shares one mobile between several people.
03Cost
Basic rates from a US caller ID
Which of those applies is read off the digits you type, so you are never asked to guess whether a Philippines 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.
Per minute in USD from a US caller ID, part of a minute counting as a full one. Rates last changed 8 October 2026. Everything we publish for Philippines, or check one number.

05Questions
Common questions
How do I call the Philippines from the US?
Dial 011, then 63, then the Philippines number. Manila's area code is a single digit, 2, so a Manila landline reads +63 2 followed by eight digits. Numbers written locally as 02 or (02) drop that leading zero, and mobile numbers written 0917 become +63 917. From a browser on Airlophone there is no exit code at all: you type the number starting +63 and the price for that exact number appears before it dials.
What is the country code for Philippines?
+63. From the US you dial 011 first to leave the country, so the full string begins 011 63. 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 the Philippines?
Basic calls to Philippines start at $0.69/min for landline. From a US caller ID: landline $0.69/min, mobile $0.99/min. Professional adds $0.02/min to paid calls, whether recording is on or off. Connected calls are billed per minute, with part of a minute counting as a full minute. Enter the number to see its exact price before calling.
Can I use my own number as caller ID?
Yes, if the number is eligible. Verify that you control it once, then select it as your Verified Caller ID when you call. Some networks cannot present a number you own on every route, and the dialer confirms that before the call starts.
What is the best time to call the Philippines from the US?
The Philippines is 12 hours ahead of US Eastern in summer and 13 in winter, and does not use daylight saving. Late evening on the US East Coast is the following midday in Manila, which is the only comfortable window.
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.
