This free Indonesian phone number checker shows whether a number is valid.

An Indonesian phone number checker tells you whether a number is real, which means it follows Indonesia's numbering rules and is assigned. Enter a +62 number above and 1Lookup's free checker returns valid or invalid in seconds, with the line type and country, checked against Indonesia's numbering plan.

The +62 and the 0 do the same job, so a number is never written with both.

An Indonesian phone number checker reads a number's format first and then checks it against Indonesia's numbering plan.

This is the path one check takes. A number can be written correctly and still not be assigned to anyone, so the format check alone is not the answer.

What one Indonesian phone number check does
  1. You enter the numberType it the way it is written at home, such as 0812-345-678, or paste it with +62.
  2. Its format is checkedEach type of number has its own rules. A mobile needs 9 to 12 digits after +62 and starts with 08 at home.
  3. It is checked against the numbering planNumbers outside the US and Canada are checked against the numbering plan of their country, which for this page is Indonesia's.Nothing is sent to the number, so it never rings and its owner is never told.
  4. You see valid or invalidWith the line type and country in a few seconds, and the carrier or network where one is listed.

An Indonesian mobile number has 9 to 12 digits after +62 and starts with 08, so any other length is not a valid mobile.

These lengths come from the numbering data for Indonesia.

Three common mistakes make an Indonesian number fail the check, and each one is quick to fix.

  1. Keeping the 0 after +62 adds a digit.

    The 0 is only for dialing inside Indonesia, so +62 0812 345 678 is wrong. Drop the 0 and write +62 812 345 678.

  2. Typing too few or too many digits makes a number invalid.

    A mobile number has 9 to 12 digits after +62. With fewer than 9 or more than 12 it cannot be a valid mobile, and inside that range the first digits decide how many are needed, so look for a missing or doubled digit.

  3. Leaving the wrong country selected changes how the number is read.

    The checker reads a number by the rules of the country selected above, so keep Indonesia selected for a +62 number. Paste a number with its + and country code and the country is read from the number itself.

These are the questions people ask most about checking Indonesian phone numbers.

How do I check if an Indonesian phone number is valid?

Enter the number in the box above with Indonesia selected. The free checker returns valid or invalid in seconds, with the line type and country. Type it the way it is written at home, such as 0812-345-678, or in full as +62 812 345 678.

How many digits is an Indonesian phone number?

A mobile number has 9 to 12 digits after +62. A landline has 7 to 11 digits after +62, such as +62 21 XXXXXXX.

What does an Indonesian mobile number start with?

Mobile numbers start with 08 at home, which is 8 after +62. The next digit is 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9.

How do I write an Indonesian number for an app or an SMS tool?

Use the E.164 form: a plus sign, 62, then the number without its leading 0 and no spaces, such as +62812345678.

Does the Indonesian phone number checker show the carrier?

It shows the carrier or network where one is listed. Numbers outside the US and Canada are checked against the numbering plan of their country rather than live carrier data, so some come back with no carrier name.

Does valid mean the Indonesian number is active?

No. Valid means the number is real, correctly written for Indonesia and assigned. Whether a line is switched on and reachable right now is a different question, and the free HLR lookup answers it.

Can I check a whole list of Indonesian phone numbers?

Yes. This free tool checks one number at a time. A 7-day free trial opens CSV upload and the API, at 1 credit a number.

Does the person know I checked their number?

No. The check reads records only. No call or text goes to the number, so its owner is never told.

What are the landline area codes of Jakarta, Bandung and Surabaya?

At home the codes are 021 for Jakarta, 022 for Bandung and 031 for Surabaya. From abroad the 0 is dropped, so Jakarta is +62 21. The area code is part of a landline's digits, and a mobile number has none.

You can check numbers from other countries on their own pages.
