Area Code 760 – Domoni

Overview of Comoros +269 760 Geographic Numbering

The international dialing code +269 is assigned to the Union of the Comoros under the ITU-T E.164 international numbering plan. Within this national plan, the prefix 760 is a geographic area code allocated to the town of Domoni, located on the island of Anjouan (Ndzuwani). This prefix is used for fixed-line PSTN services, connecting subscribers to the public switched telephone network in the Domoni exchange area.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

Domoni is the second-largest city on Anjouan and serves as the capital of the Anjouan region. The 760 prefix covers the urban center and its surrounding villages, including administrative and residential areas. As a geographic code, it identifies the physical location of the subscriber's line, which is essential for routing calls and for emergency services to determine the caller's approximate location.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

To call a Domoni fixed-line number from abroad, you must dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most countries), followed by the Comoros country code +269, then the national significant number (NSN). The NSN for Comoros fixed lines is seven digits, with the first three digits being the area code. Therefore, a complete international number would appear as +269 760 XXXX, where XXXX is the subscriber's four-digit line number.

For local calls within Comoros, the full seven-digit number is dialed without the country code, e.g., 760 XXXX. There is no trunk prefix (such as '0') used in Comoros; the country code and area code are always dialed together for international calls. Callers from outside Comoros should note that the leading '+' is a placeholder for the international access code and is not part of the actual dialed digits.

Numbering Plan and Overlay Considerations

Comoros uses a closed numbering plan, meaning that the national significant number is always seven digits for fixed lines. The 760 prefix is part of the geographic allocation plan administered by the Comoros Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (ARTIC). Currently, there are no overlay codes in Domoni; the 760 prefix is unique to this region. However, as the demand for fixed-line services grows, future numbering expansions may introduce additional codes or overlay plans.

Caller Instructions

For local callers within Comoros, simply dial the seven-digit number. For international callers, dial your country's exit code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries), then 269, followed by 760 and the four-digit subscriber number. Ensure you omit any leading zeros that might appear in local directories, as Comoros numbers do not use a national trunk prefix.

When receiving calls from abroad, Domoni subscribers will see the caller's international number with the +269 country code. It is important to note that while mobile numbers in Comoros also start with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, the 760 prefix is exclusively for fixed lines, so calls to this number are routed over the PSTN and are not subject to mobile termination rates.
