Afghanistan Phone Number validator
How the phone number format works
- Format
- Afghanistan phone number in national or international (+93) format
- Example
- +93701234567
Things to watch for
- Accepts national or international (E.164, e.g. +93...) format
- Validated with Google's libphonenumber; confirms the number is possible/valid for this country, not that it is currently assigned or reachable
^[+]?[0-9 ()\-]{6,}$An Afghan phone number dials nationally as a 2-digit network prefix (070 through 079) followed by 7 more digits, with a leading trunk 0 — for example 070 123 4567. That 0 is always dropped when converting to international form, so 0701234567 becomes +93701234567, leaving exactly 9 digits after the country code. Landlines follow a similar pattern with a shorter, region-specific area code in place of the mobile prefix, such as 020 for Kabul.
How this validator works
Enter the number nationally (0701234567) or with the country code (+93701234567); this tool checks digit count and prefix range against Afghanistan’s real numbering plan using Google’s libphonenumber, entirely in your browser. Because the trunk 0 must be dropped for +93 form, a number that still starts with 0 after the country code, or is missing a digit, fails immediately.
What a pass doesn’t tell you
A pass confirms the digits match a genuine Afghan mobile or landline pattern — it says nothing about whether that SIM is currently active or the line connected. Numbers are reassigned by operators after inactivity, so a well-formed number isn’t proof anyone is holding it today.
Scope: use this to catch a missing digit, an extra digit, or a kept trunk 0 after +93 before a number reaches a form or SMS platform — not as proof the SIM is currently active.

phone number FAQ
What happens to the leading 0 in an Afghan mobile number when converting to +93?
It's dropped. A number dialled domestically as 070 1234567 becomes +93701234567 — the trunk 0 is stripped, leaving 9 digits starting with the network prefix (070 through 079) after +93.
How long is an Afghan mobile number?
Nine digits after the country code — a 2-digit network prefix (070 through 079 depending on operator range) followed by 7 more digits, 10 digits total including the domestic trunk 0.
Does a valid check confirm an Afghan number is currently active?
No. It confirms the digits match a real Afghan mobile pattern under the numbering plan — not that the SIM is loaded or reachable, which needs a carrier-side lookup this tool doesn't perform.
