📍 Geographic Location of Libreville

Overview of +241 0148

The prefix +241 0148 is a geographic area code assigned to Libreville, the capital and largest city of Gabon. It is part of the national numbering plan under the jurisdiction of the Agence de Régulation des Communications Électroniques et des Postes (ARCEP Gabon). This code is used for fixed-line telephone services within the Estuaire Province, which encompasses the greater Libreville metropolitan area, including the communes of Akanda and Owendo.

Dialing Formats

When calling a number with the prefix 0148, the dialing format depends on the caller's location:

  • Local calls within Gabon (excluding the 0148 area): Dial the full national number: 0148 XX XX XX (9 digits after the trunk prefix 0).
  • Calls from within the 0148 area (on-net): Local numbers may be dialed as 7 digits (e.g., 48 XX XX XX), but for consistency, the full national format is recommended.
  • International calls from abroad: Dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 or +), then the country code 241, followed by the national number without the leading 0: +241 148 XX XX XX.

Example: A typical Libreville fixed-line number might be 0148 12 34 56. From overseas, you would dial +241 148 12 34 56.

Geographic Coverage and Administration

Libreville is the political and economic hub of Gabon, hosting government institutions, embassies, and major corporate headquarters. The 0148 prefix is primarily allocated to residential and business subscribers within the city limits. As with many urban centers, the demand for fixed-line services in Libreville has led to the introduction of overlay codes to increase capacity, but 0148 remains a primary geographic identifier for the capital.

Caller Guidance

  • Local callers: When dialing a 0148 number from another region in Gabon (e.g., from Port-Gentil), you must include the trunk prefix 0 and the area code: 0148 XX XX XX.
  • International callers: Always replace the leading 0 with the country code +241. Do not dial the 0 when calling from abroad.
  • Mobile and VoIP users: Calls to 0148 numbers are treated as fixed-line calls; tariffs may vary depending on your operator and plan.

For the most accurate and up-to-date dialing procedures, always consult your local telecom provider or the official ARCEP guidelines.
