📍 Geographic Location of Mitsamiouli
Geographic Overview
The +269 768 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Mitsamiouli area, located on the island of Grande Comore (Ngazidja) in the Union of the Comoros. Mitsamiouli is a coastal town in the northwest of Grande Comore, known for its beaches and as a gateway to the Mitsamiouli Peninsula. This prefix is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within this specific administrative region.
Dialing Formats
When calling a Mitsamiouli number from abroad, the international format is: +269 768 XXXX (or +269768XXXX). From within the Comoros, callers must dial the full national number, which includes the NDC and the subscriber number: 768 XXXX. The Comorian numbering plan does not use trunk prefixes (such as '0' in many countries), so the national dialing format is identical to the international format without the '+269' country code.
Number Structure
Comorian fixed-line numbers are typically 7 digits long after the country code. The NDC '768' is followed by a 4-digit subscriber number, resulting in a total length of 7 digits for the national significant number (NSN). This structure aligns with ITU-T E.164 recommendations.
Overlay and Local Dialing
There are no overlay codes in the Comoros; each geographic area has a unique NDC. Local calls within the same NDC area may be dialed using only the subscriber number (4 digits) if supported by the local exchange, but it is safer to dial the full NDC + subscriber number to ensure proper routing. For international callers, always use the plus sign (+) or the international access prefix (00) followed by the country code and NSN.
Caller Instructions
- From abroad: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then 269, then 768, then the 4-digit subscriber number. Example: +269 768 1234.
- From within the Comoros: Dial 768 followed by the 4-digit subscriber number. Example: 768 1234.
This prefix is exclusively for fixed-line services; mobile numbers in the Comoros use different NDCs (e.g., 3xx, 4xx, 5xx, 6xx, 9xx). Always verify the number length and prefix with your telecom provider if you are unsure.
