Palau dialling — what you need to know

Palau uses the international dialling prefix +680 with no area code subdivisions — all numbers in the archipelago are seven digits dialled directly after the country code, formatted internationally as +680 XXX XXXX. The main operator PNCC (Palau National Communications Corporation) provides both fixed-line and mobile services; mobile numbers typically begin with 6, 7 or 8, while fixed lines in and around Koror, the commercial hub, often begin with 4 or 5. Palau observes Palau Standard Time (PWT, UTC+9) year-round without daylight saving adjustments, aligning with Japan Standard Time and placing Palau nine hours ahead of UTC. Business hours in Koror run Monday to Friday 08:00–17:00 PWT, with a one-hour lunch break standard in government and corporate offices. English is an official language alongside Palauan, and all government communications and most international business correspondence are conducted in English. Palau's economy is driven by tourism, with visitors drawn to the famous jellyfish lakes and some of the world's premier dive sites in the Rock Islands.
