📍 Geographic Location of Ndjolé
Overview of Area Code 1159 (Ndjolé)
Area code 1159 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Ndjolé, located in the Moyen-Ogooué Province of Gabon. This code is part of the national numbering plan under the country calling code +241, which is administered by the Gabonese regulatory authority (ARCEP Gabon). As a geographic code, 1159 is used exclusively for fixed-line PSTN services within the Ndjolé exchange area, distinguishing it from non-geographic mobile and VoIP prefixes that are not tied to a specific location.
Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
Ndjolé serves as the capital of the Department of Abanga-Bigné and is situated along the Ogooué River, approximately 250 kilometers southeast of Libreville. The 1159 prefix covers the urban center of Ndjolé and its surrounding administrative subdivisions, including nearby villages and rural communities that are connected to the local fixed-line infrastructure. Subscribers within this area are assigned numbers in the format +241 1159 XX XX, where the final four digits represent the individual subscriber line. This allocation ensures that all calls destined for Ndjolé are routed through the appropriate central office exchange.
Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions
For callers within Gabon, dialing a Ndjolé fixed-line number requires the national trunk prefix 0 followed by the NDC and subscriber number: 0 1159 XX XX. For example, a local call to a Ndjolé subscriber would be dialed as 01159 XX XX (with the initial 0). International callers must use the full E.164 format: +241 1159 XX XX. For instance, calling from abroad would require dialing +241 1159 XX XX, omitting the leading trunk prefix. It is important to note that Gabon has implemented mobile number portability, but fixed-line geographic numbers are generally not portable outside their designated exchange area, so the 1159 prefix remains tied to Ndjolé.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T recommendations, there are no overlay codes for the Ndjolé area; the 1159 prefix is the sole geographic code for this locality. The numbering capacity for 1159 is limited to 10,000 subscriber lines (XXXX), which is sufficient for the current population and economic activity. Future expansion may require additional NDCs or the introduction of overlay codes, but such changes would be announced by ARCEP. For businesses and residents in Ndjolé, maintaining accurate dialing procedures is essential to ensure seamless connectivity with the rest of Gabon and the international community.
