All telephone numbers in Panama are seven or eight digits long (xxx-xxxx or 6xxx-xxxx) and there are no area codes.

The first digit of landline numbers may be used to vaguely identify the location of the caller.

Mobile phones were also assigned 7 digit numbers until 2005, when they were moved to their own number space with 8 digits.

Mobile numbers are recycled if the user is marked as inactive by the mobile service provider, and landline numbers are also recycled if a user cancels their landline phone service.

The following table lists the first digit for locations of land-lines:[2] 6xxx xxxx[2] The following three-digit numbers are also in use:[citation needed]
