📍 Geographic Location of Mohéli

Geographic Overview

The +269 762 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the island of Mohéli (Mwali), one of the three semi-autonomous islands that constitute the Union of the Comoros. Mohéli is the smallest of the main islands, with its capital at Fomboni. This prefix is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within the island, serving both residential and business subscribers. The administrative jurisdiction for numbering falls under the Comorian regulatory authority, which follows ITU-T E.164 recommendations.

Dialing Formats

Within Comoros, calls to a Mohéli fixed line require dialing the full national number: 762 XX XX (8 digits in total, including the leading '7'). For international callers, the format is +269 762 XX XX, where +269 is the Comoros country code. Note that the trunk prefix '0' is not used in Comoros; the national significant number (NSN) is 8 digits, and the NDC '762' is always dialed, even for local calls within Mohéli.

Geographic Coverage and Cities

The prefix covers the entire island, including the capital Fomboni, as well as other towns and villages such as Nioumachoua, Hoani, and Wanani. It is important to note that while mobile numbers in Comoros also start with '7', they are non-geographic and have a different structure. Fixed-line numbers under 762 are distinct from mobile prefixes like 76, 77, or 78, which are assigned to mobile operators.

Caller Instructions

  • Local callers (within Comoros): Dial 762 XX XX. No trunk prefix is required.
  • International callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then 269, followed by 762 XX XX. Example: +269 762 12 34.
  • Overlay considerations: As of the latest numbering plan, there is no overlay code for Mohéli; 762 remains the sole geographic code for fixed lines on the island. However, number portability may allow a fixed-line number to be moved to a different operator, but the geographic significance is retained.

Technical Notes

Fixed-line services in Mohéli are provided by the incumbent operator, Comoros Telecom (now part of the Comoros Telecom group). The network is primarily copper-based, with some fiber-optic connections in urban areas. VoIP services are available but must use geographic numbers that comply with local regulations. For international calls, the Comoros uses the +269 country code, and the international dialing prefix is '00'. When calling from abroad, always replace the '+' with the appropriate exit code.
