How to Use the +95 Country Code: A Guide for SMBs and Startups

Whether you're coordinating logistics in Yangon or supporting developers in Mandalay, formatting Myanmar phone numbers correctly is essential for smooth international communication.

This guide breaks down how to use the 95 country code, the correct phone number structure, common pitfalls, and how DialLink helps SMBs and startups communicate globally with ease and professionalism.

What Is the 95 Country Code?

+95 is the international dialing code for Myanmar. You need to include it when calling or texting any Myanmar phone number from abroad.

Here’s what that looks like:

• Country Code: +95
• Myanmar Area Codes: Vary by city or carrier (e.g., 1 for Yangon, 9X for mobile)
• Number Format: +95 X XXX XXXX (landline) or +95 9 XXXX XXXX (mobile)

Common Pitfalls in International Number Formatting

Getting the phone number format wrong can result in failed calls, lost contacts, or CRM sync issues. These are the most frequent issues SMBs encounter with Myanmar numbers:

• Omitting the +95 country code — causing calls or messages to fail
• Including the domestic “0” prefix when dialing internationally
• Confusing mobile and landline formats — mobile numbers begin with “9”
• Saving numbers inconsistently across platforms — which can break automation and reporting

Using a consistent, international format (like E.164) across your CRM, phone system, and dialers ensures smooth communication and system integration.

Common Myanmar Number Format Examples

How to Read and Format Myanmar Numbers

Myanmar phone numbers follow this structure:

• +95 — The country code
• Area Code — 1 to 2 digits (e.g., 1 for Yangon) or 9X for mobile
• Subscriber Number — 6 to 8 digits, depending on region or carrier

When dialing internationally, you must omit the local trunk prefix “0”. For example, the local number 09 1234 5678 should be formatted internationally as +95 9 1234 5678.

Format Variations

• International Format (E.164): +95912345678 — used in CRMs and VoIP systems for standardization.
• Local Format (in Myanmar): 09 1234 5678 — includes the leading “0” when dialed domestically.
• Long-Distance Format (from the U.S. or Canada): 011 95 9 1234 5678 — “011” is the international access code for North America.
• International Dialing Format (from UK/EU): 00 95 9 1234 5678 — “00” is used in most European countries to place international calls.

Best Practices for SMBs

• Use the full international format (+95 XX XXX XXXX) when storing phone numbers for consistency and system compatibility.
• Remove the domestic prefix “0” when saving or dialing internationally.
• Keep formatting consistent across CRMs, dialers, and messaging tools to ensure smooth automation and logging.

By understanding how each part of a Myanmar phone number works, SMBs can reduce miscommunication, improve call connection rates, and maintain a professional image in international interactions.
