Domestic trunk or access rule: 0.
Dialing detail
For a fixed line outside the caller’s local numbering area, use domestic 0 + department code + subscriber number. From abroad, remove that 0: 01 becomes +51 1 and 054 becomes +51 54. For a Peruvian mobile, dial +51 followed directly by its nine-digit number.
Country Code vs. Area Code
+51 routes a call to Peru. A geographic area code then identifies a fixed-line numbering area or range. Do not create a duplicate global “51 area code” page for the same country-code intent.

National Number Format
Geographic fixed-line national significant numbers contain 8 digits: Lima and Callao use area code 1 plus a 7-digit subscriber number, while other departments use a 2-digit code plus a 6-digit subscriber number; mobile numbers contain 9 digits.
A fixed-line code identifies a department-level numbering area rather than one city or an exact address. Lima and Callao share code 1, and each other listed code covers its whole department. Mobile numbers beginning with 9 are nationwide and do not use these geographic codes. Portability, call forwarding and VoIP can also weaken current-location or carrier inference.
