Number ranges & quality

RangeTypeNotes
Starts with 07, 10 digits (9 without the 0) Mobile carrier An Afghan mobile number is 0 plus a two-digit access code plus 7 digits. ATRA's notifications to the ITU go up to 2017: the 2008 numbering plan gave 70 to AWCC, 75 to Afghan Telecom (Salaam), 77 to MTN, 78 to Etisalat and 79 to Roshan, reserving 71–74 and 76 for new licensees; three-digit blocks were added in 2012–2016 — 711 (AWCC), 728/729 (Roshan), 730 (Etisalat), 744/747/748/749 (Salaam) and 764–767 (MTN). Operators have changed hands since and nothing newer has been published, so treat this only as a guide to who a range was first given to.

Afghanistan is on neither ChatGPT's nor Claude's supported-regions list, so AI sign-up is restricted; TikTok has been fully banned since 2022. WhatsApp and Telegram still work.

Porting rules in full

We found nothing from ATRA on whether numbers can be ported, so this is marked unverified. The official numbering information we could find goes only up to the 2017 ITU notification.
