Questions
What is the country code for Peru?
Peru's country calling code is +51. In E.164 — the format almost every API, SMS gateway and CRM expects — it is written with no spaces, brackets or dashes, like +51912345678.
How many digits is a Peru phone number?
9 digits after the +51 country code. Written nationally it may show no trunk prefix.
Does the leading 0 get included when dialling Peru from abroad?
Peru numbers do not use a national trunk prefix, so the national and international digits are the same after the +51 country code.
Is a correctly formatted number the same as a real one?
No, and conflating the two is the usual mistake. Formatting only says a number could exist. It does not say whether the range was ever allocated, whether it is mobile, fixed line or VoIP, or whether it is worth trusting on a signup — those need a lookup against numbering-plan data.
