Geographic Overview

The prefix +225 27 30 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Yamoussoukro area, the political capital of Côte d’Ivoire. This code is part of the national numbering plan administered by the Autorité de Régulation des Télécommunications de Côte d’Ivoire (ARTCI). Yamoussoukro, located in the Lacs District, is served by this prefix for fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services. The city is home to government institutions, the Fondation Félix Houphouët-Boigny, and the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, making the prefix relevant for administrative and business communications.

Dialing Formats

When calling a Yamoussoukro fixed-line number from within Côte d’Ivoire, you must dial the full national number, which includes the trunk prefix 0, the NDC 27, and the subscriber number. For example, a local number might be 27 30 00 00 00. To call from abroad, you replace the leading 0 with the country code +225, resulting in +225 27 30 00 00 00. The total length of a complete international number is 12 digits, including the country code.

Geographic Coverage and Overlays

The 2730 prefix specifically covers the Yamoussoukro urban area and its immediate surroundings. It is part of the larger 27 NDC, which serves the entire Lacs District and parts of central Côte d’Ivoire. As of the latest ARTCI updates, there are no overlay codes for this region; the 27 code is unique to the area. However, due to number portability, a fixed-line number with this prefix may be routed to a different operator or even a mobile network, but the geographic identity remains tied to Yamoussoukro.
