Numbering Plan Considerations
The 2535 prefix is part of the 25XX range allocated to fixed-line services in the eastern part of the country. As of the latest ITU-T operational bulletin, no overlay code has been assigned for Abengourou, meaning the 2535 prefix remains unique for this geographic area. All fixed-line numbers in this region have a uniform length of 10 digits when dialed nationally (including the trunk prefix) and 8 digits when dialed internationally (excluding the country code).
It is important to note that while this prefix is geographic, some operators may use VoIP technology to route calls, but the tariff and numbering remain tied to the geographic location. Users should verify the current operator responsible for a specific line if they encounter issues, as number portability may allow subscribers to retain their number even if they move to a different operator.
