Geographic Overview of +241 0186

The prefix +241 0186 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Mouila, the capital of the Ngounié Province in south-central Gabon. This code is part of Gabon's national numbering plan, which adheres to ITU-T E.164 recommendations. Mouila serves as an administrative and commercial hub for the region, and numbers under this prefix are typically allocated to fixed-line PSTN services within the city and its immediate surroundings.

Dialing Formats

To call a Mouila fixed-line number from abroad, you must dial the international access code (e.g., 00 or +), followed by Gabon's country code +241, then the NDC 0186 and the subscriber's 6-digit local number. For example, a complete international dialing sequence would be +241 0186 XX XX XX (where X represents the local digits).

Within Gabon, callers must include the leading '0' of the NDC when dialing a fixed-line number. Thus, a domestic call to Mouila would be placed as 0186 XX XX XX. This applies to calls made from other fixed lines or mobile phones within the country.

Number Structure and Overlays

Gabon's fixed-line numbers are structured as: country code +241, followed by a 2-digit NDC (e.g., 01 for Libreville, 0186 for Mouila) and a 6-digit subscriber number. The total length of a national significant number (NSN) is 8 digits. As of the latest ITU-T operational bulletin, there are no overlay codes in Gabon; each geographic region retains a unique NDC. However, the introduction of overlay codes is possible in the future to meet growing demand.

Caller Instructions

  • International callers: Dial your country's exit code, then 241, then 0186, then the 6-digit local number. Do not include the leading '0' of the NDC.
  • Domestic callers: Dial 0186 followed by the 6-digit local number. The leading '0' is mandatory for all domestic fixed-line calls.

When dialing from a mobile phone within Gabon, the same domestic format applies. It is important to note that while Gabon has implemented mobile number portability, fixed-line numbers are generally not portable across geographic regions. Therefore, a number starting with 0186 will always be associated with the Mouila area.
