Afghan mobile number prefixes: which network is it?

Updated 24 October 20262 min read

Quick answer

Afghan mobile numbers start with +93, then a two-digit network prefix. 70 and 71 are AWCC, 72 and 79 are Roshan, 73 and 78 are Etisalat, 76 and 77 are ATOMA, and 74 and 75 are Salaam. A local number is 0 followed by 9 digits, for example 0700 123 456.

How to read an Afghan number

An Afghan mobile number is written as 0, a two-digit network prefix and seven more digits, for example 0700 123 456. From abroad, replace the first 0 with +93: 0700 123 456 becomes +93 700 123 456.

Do I need to know the network to top up?

No. When you top up on GO-RECHARGE we suggest the operator from the prefix. Numbers can move between networks, so if the person changed network you can pick the right one yourself.
