How to Dial Indonesia from the US
Dial your country's international exit code (011 from the US/Canada, 00 from Europe, or just use + on a mobile)
Dial 62 — Indonesia's country code
Dial the area code (e.g., 21 for Jakarta) plus the subscriber number for landlines, or the mobile number starting with 8 — drop the leading 0
Number Format Examples
Landline (Jakarta): +62 21 XXXX XXXX
Landline (Surabaya): +62 31 XXX XXXX
Mobile (Telkomsel): +62 812 XXXX XXXX
Mobile (Indosat): +62 815 XXXX XXXX
From US landline: 011 62 812 XXXX XXXX
Common Mistakes
- Drop the leading 0 — Indonesian domestic numbers start with 0 (e.g., 021 for Jakarta, 0812 for Telkomsel), but from abroad dial 62 21 or 62 812 directly.
- Mobile numbers are 9-12 digits after the country code, always starting with 8. Telkomsel (811-813, 821-823, 851-853), Indosat (814-816, 855-858), XL Axiata (817-819, 859, 877-879).
- Indonesia spans 3 time zones (WIB, WITA, WIT). Jakarta is UTC+7, Bali is UTC+8, Papua is UTC+9. Check which zone you're calling.
- Jakarta's area code is 21. Bandung is 22, Surabaya 31, Denpasar (Bali) 361, Yogyakarta 274.

Calling Indonesia — Things to Know
- WhatsApp is the dominant messaging app in Indonesia — over 90% of smartphone users have it. However, calling quality depends on the recipient's data connection, which varies greatly across the archipelago.
- Telkomsel is by far the largest carrier (over 170 million subscribers), followed by Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, XL Axiata, and Smartfren.
- Indonesia has over 17,000 islands. Mobile coverage is strong in Java and Bali but patchy in remote areas of Sulawesi, Kalimantan, and Papua. Phone calls through telephone networks reach more areas than data-dependent apps.
- Indonesia spans 3 time zones: WIB (western, UTC+7, includes Jakarta), WITA (central, UTC+8, includes Bali), WIT (eastern, UTC+9, includes Papua). Always check which zone you're calling.
- Indonesian holidays like Lebaran (Eid al-Fitr) see massive phone traffic as families connect. Lines can be very busy during this period. Plan calls early in the day.
- BubblyPhone reaches all Indonesian carriers across all islands. No need for separate calling cards or apps.
