📍 Geographic Location of Mayumba

Geographic Overview

The prefix +241 1183 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Mayumba, located in the Nyanga Province of southwestern Gabon. Mayumba is a coastal city known for its Atlantic beaches and proximity to the Mayumba National Park. This code is part of Gabon's national numbering plan, which adheres to ITU-T E.164 recommendations, and is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within the local exchange area.

Dialing Formats

To call a Mayumba fixed-line number from within Gabon, subscribers dial the trunk prefix 0, followed by the NDC 1183 and the subscriber's 4-digit local number. For example, a local number 1234 would be dialed as 01183 1234 within Gabon. From abroad, callers must use the international prefix (typically 00 or +), the country code 241, and then the NDC without the leading trunk prefix, resulting in +241 1183 1234. The complete international number consists of 9 digits after the country code (including the NDC).

Caller Instructions

  • Local callers (within Gabon): Dial 01183 followed by the local 4-digit number. If you are calling from a mobile phone, you may need to include the trunk prefix '0' as per your operator's instructions.
  • International callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most countries, 011 from North America), then 241, then 1183, and finally the local 4-digit number. For example, from the US, dial 011 241 1183 1234.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Gabon's geographic numbering plan is administered by the Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (ARTEL). As of the latest updates, there is no overlay code for Mayumba; the NDC 1183 is exclusively assigned to this exchange. However, number portability may allow subscribers to retain their numbers when switching operators, but geographic numbers typically remain tied to their original location for routing purposes. The local exchange capacity is limited, reflecting the town's modest population, and the number format is expected to remain stable in the near term.
