Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions

When calling from abroad, the international format is +225 27 24 XX XX XX or +225 2724 XX XX XX. The country code for Côte d’Ivoire is +225, and the '0' trunk prefix is not used in international dialing.

For local callers within Abobo or the greater Abidjan area, you must still dial the full 10-digit number (including the '27') because Côte d’Ivoire uses closed dialing plan. There is no local abbreviated dialing. For international callers, always replace the leading '0' of the national number with +225. For example, a number listed as 27 24 12 34 56 should be dialed as +225 27 24 12 34 56 from overseas.

Numbering Plan and Overlay Considerations

The Ivorian numbering plan, managed by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (ARTCI), uses a closed numbering system. The '27' prefix is designated for fixed-line services in the Abidjan region, while other prefixes like '25' and '26' are used for other fixed-line areas. There is no overlay code for Abobo; the 2724 prefix is exclusively assigned to the Abobo exchange. However, due to number portability, a subscriber may retain their 2724 number even if they move to a different geographic area, but the prefix still identifies the original location.

Practical Examples
