Number ranges & quality

RangeTypeNotes
Starts with 7 or 9, 8 digits Mobile carrier Omani numbers are always 8 digits. The TRA's published mobile range table: Omantel has 71, 72, 91, 92, 93, 98 and 99 (plus 901–909), Ooredoo has 78, 79 and 94–97. Note the table predates the third operator, Vodafone, and lists none of its ranges. Numbers have been portable since 2006, so a range only tells you who it was first given to.
Starts with 800 / 900 Other In the TRA's numbering structure, 800 is freephone and 900 is premium-rate — neither is a mobile number.

ID requiredA passport and ID are required; real-name checks are strict, and VoIP services are separately regulated.

Physical SIMs can sign up without issues. Note that VoIP calls are regulated locally, but signing up itself is unaffected.

Carriers & prefixes

Mobile prefixes by carrier.

Number portability applies — a prefix only shows the original carrier.

Porting rules in full

Oman introduced number portability back in 2006 — the TRA says it was the first country in the region to do so. The TRA later built a centralised system under its direct supervision to fix problems with the 2006 model. The steps, per the TRA: postpaid numbers must settle any outstanding bill first; apply at the new operator, pick a plan and collect the new SIM; confirm by replying “Port” to the text you receive; keep using the old SIM until its service stops, then switch to the new one.

    Ranges from the TRA's mobile number table.
