Area Code: 2-5 digits Subscriber Number: 4-7 digits Trunk Prefix: 0 International Prefix: 00
For most carriers, the sequence of area code and subscriber number digits remains unchanged, especially for calls from outside Pakistan. Numbers for carriers Instaphone, SCOM and Zong (formerly Paktel) received changes to their area code with a digit prepended to the existing 7-digit mobile subscriber number, which means the entire new sequence of digits will not correspond with the old sequence.
There was permissive use of both old and new number formats until 30 June 2008.

Area codes and subscriber number change in unpredictable patterns. Subscriber number digits may be prepended, inserted or removed as area codes change.
There were some 8- and 9-digit numbers which needed to be converted to 7-digit numbers (for 2-digit area codes such as Lahore +92 42).
The following table indicates the possible conversion to new area codes, which may depend on the telephone exchange or community:
