Overview of Area Code 2735 (Abengourou)

Area code 2735 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Abengourou, the capital of the Indénié-Djuablin region in eastern Côte d’Ivoire. This code is part of the country’s fixed-line telephony network, operated under the regulatory oversight of the Autorité de Régulation des Télécommunications de Côte d’Ivoire (ARTCI). Abengourou serves as an administrative and commercial hub for the region, and its fixed-line subscribers are primarily businesses, government offices, and residential users.

Dialing Formats and Usage

When calling a fixed-line number in Abengourou from within Côte d’Ivoire, subscribers must dial the full national number, which includes the area code and the subscriber’s 6-digit line number. The complete national number is 10 digits long, beginning with the leading 0. For example, a local number might be written as 0 27 35 XX XX XX.

For international callers, the leading 0 is omitted, and the country code +225 is used. Thus, the same number would be dialed as +225 27 35 XX XX XX. This format complies with ITU-T E.164 recommendations.

It is important to note that Côte d’Ivoire introduced a new numbering plan in 2021, which added the digit 2 before existing fixed-line area codes. Therefore, the former code 735 became 2735. Users with older directories should be aware of this change to avoid dialing errors.

Geographic Coverage and Overlays

Area code 2735 is dedicated exclusively to the Abengourou exchange area. It does not cover surrounding towns unless they are part of the same local calling area. As of the latest ARTCI updates, no overlay codes have been assigned for this region, meaning that the 2735 code is unique for fixed-line services in Abengourou. However, mobile numbers in the same region use separate non-geographic prefixes (e.g., 05, 07) and are not affected by this geographic code.

Caller Instructions

  • Local callers (within Côte d’Ivoire): Dial 0 27 35 followed by the 6-digit subscriber number.
  • International callers: Dial your country’s international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most countries), then 225 (country code), then 27 35 and the 6-digit subscriber number. Example: +225 27 35 XX XX XX.

Always verify the number with the recipient, as fixed-line numbers are not portable across geographic areas in Côte d’Ivoire. For further assistance, consult ARTCI’s official numbering plan or your telecom provider.
