How to Dial Landline Number using Your TM Sim In Phillipines?
To call a Philippine landline using your TM SIM, you must dial the area code first, followed by the 7 digit landline number.
If you are outside the Philippines, dial: +63 + area code (remove the 0) + landline number.
Many TM subscribers in 2026 now use app-based promos for cheaper calls to Philippine landline numbers, especially for work, banks, and government hotlines. Landline call charges may still apply if you are using regular prepaid load without an active TM or Globe call promo.
Format to Dial Landline Number
Before calling make sure your tm registration number process is completed. The format is easy. First, dial the area code. Then enter the 7-digit landline number. For example, if you want to call a number in Cebu City, add the Cebu area code first and then the landline number.
Format: Area Code + Landline Number (7 digits). Example: You want to call a number in Cebu City
- Area code: 032
- Landline number: 232 9279
- Dial: 032 232 9279
When I tried calling earlier, an automated message told me to add 8 before the landline number. I tried it, but it did not work. I searched online and confirmed that you only need:
- Area code
- 7-digit landline number
- No need to add 8 before the number
So always dial the correct area code first, then the seven-digit landline number you want to reach.
Calling Philippine Landline from Abroad (TM SIM Roaming)
If you are outside the Philippines:
+63 + Area Code (remove first 0) + Landline Number. Example (calling the same Cebu number from abroad):
+63 32 232 9279
- Replace 0 in the area code with +63
- Still 7 digits after area code
