📍 Geographic Location of Banco, Abidjan
Geographic Overview
The +225 2723 prefix is a geographic number allocated to the Banco district of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire’s economic capital. Banco is a northern suburb of Abidjan, known for the Banco National Park, a protected tropical forest. The prefix serves fixed-line services within this specific administrative area, which includes residential, business, and government installations. As part of the national numbering plan, the prefix is managed by the Telecommunications Regulatory Agency of Côte d’Ivoire (ARTCI) and is assigned to fixed-line operators such as Orange CI and MTN CI.
Dialing Format
When calling a Banco fixed-line number from within Côte d’Ivoire, you dial the 10-digit national significant number (NSN) directly, which begins with the digit '2' for geographic areas. For example, a local number might be 2723 45 67 89. From abroad, you must dial the international prefix (e.g., 00 or +), followed by the country code 225, and then the 10-digit NSN, omitting any trunk prefix. Thus, the international format is +225 2723 45 67 89.
Caller Instructions
- Local callers (within Côte d’Ivoire): Dial the 10-digit number directly (e.g., 2723 45 67 89). No trunk prefix is required.
- International callers: Dial your country’s exit code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries), then 225, then the 10-digit number. For example, from the US you would dial 011 225 2723 45 67 89.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of 2025, no overlay codes have been introduced for the Abidjan fixed-line area. The numbering plan is closed, with fixed numbers always 10 digits long. However, number portability is available for fixed lines, meaning that a number starting with 2723 may have been moved to a different operator, but it remains geographically tied to the Banco area. If you receive a call from +225 2723, it originates from a fixed line in Banco, Abidjan, unless ported to a VoIP service that retains the original geographic number.
For businesses, having a 2723 number signals a physical presence in Banco, which can enhance local trust. For individuals, it is a standard fixed-line connection. Always verify the complete number before dialing, as misdialing may route to a different Abidjan district.
