Overview of +241 1145
The country calling code +241 is assigned to Gabon under the ITU-T E.164 international numbering plan. Within the national numbering plan, the prefix 1145 is a geographic area code that routes calls to the capital city, Libreville, and its surrounding metropolitan area. This code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services, and it is administered by the Autorité de Régulation des Communications Électroniques et des Postes (ARCEP Gabon).
Geographic Coverage and Dialing Formats
The 1145 prefix serves the Estuaire Province, which includes Libreville, the political and economic capital, as well as nearby communes such as Akanda and Owendo. Subscribers under this code are typically connected via copper or fiber infrastructure, and the number length is 8 digits in the national format, including the prefix.
To call a fixed line in Libreville from within Gabon, dial the 8-digit national number directly, e.g., 1145 1234. When calling from abroad, you must include the country code and drop the leading trunk prefix (if any). The international format is +241 1145 1234 (or +24111451234 when dialed without spaces).
Calling Instructions
- Local callers (within Gabon): Dial the full 8-digit number, e.g., 1145 1234. No trunk prefix is required.
- International callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), followed by 241, then the 8-digit number: 00 241 1145 1234 or 011 241 1145 1234.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
Gabon does not currently use area code overlays for fixed-line services. The 1145 prefix is unique to Libreville, and no additional area codes have been overlaid in this region. However, number portability is available for fixed lines, allowing subscribers to retain their number when changing operators within the same geographic area. It is important to note that the prefix does not indicate a specific operator; multiple licensed fixed-line operators may use numbers within this range.
For VoIP or mobile users, the geographic significance of 1145 is less relevant, as calls are routed based on the number's destination. Nevertheless, for businesses and individuals, using a local Libreville number can enhance local presence and reduce costs for customers calling from within the region.
