The Bahrain Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) is a governmental institution which regularly updates and publishes reports on the country's national numbering plan. The reports include all the number blocks used in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Telephone numbers in Bahrain are generally eight digits long with the exception of short codes which have fewer digits. Majority of the fixed landline numbers start with 1. Cellular (Mobile) phone numbers and pager numbers start with 3* or 663* or 669* depending on the service provider.

There is no area code in Bahrain, however the two digit numbers after the landline prefixes represent different cities or regions in Bahrain for example 44 is sakhir (1744 0000) so these are called exchange codes but other carriers never had exchange codes only the main one which is batelco

Batelco is the main service provider for landlines. Mobile users commonly subscribe to Batelco, Zain or STC.
