    If you only have mobile number, you still have to indicate the STD code. For Philippines it's 63 (i.e. 63 <mobile number excluding zero>). Here's an example of contact number entry : 63 917xxxxxxx

    Hi amiga I think that is the Country Code like '44' for the UK.

    As Tomm said each greater town/city area has its own STD. In the UK for example, you have STDs applicable to where you live (in da Phils too) so Manila is '2' for example.

    So to call me in Leeds UK from da phils, you would dial '44' UK International Dialling Code then 113 for Leeds followed by my 7-digit telephone number. If calling from within the UK, the STD would require a zero in front of the '113' hence becomes '0113'

    Hope this helps!
    Be responsible with little so that you can be trusted with much!!

    Opsss....I stand corrected. "63" is the ISD code. STD refers to the area code. So if you are located in Cebu then it's 032. But since you don't have a landline there then you can just provide your mobile number and indicate the ISD code instead.
