Geographic Overview
The area code 91 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Greenlandic national numbering plan, allocated to the town of Qasigannguit (formerly Qasigiannguit, also known as Christianshåb).

Dialing Formats
When calling a landline in Qasigannguit from abroad, you must use the international format: +299 91 XX XX. The country calling code for Greenland is +299, followed by the two-digit area code 91 and the local subscriber number, which is typically 4 digits long. Thus, a complete international number consists of 8 digits after the plus sign.
For domestic calls within Greenland (i.e., from another town or region), you dial 91 XX XX – omitting the country code. However, if you are calling from within the same local area, you may be able to dial only the 4-digit subscriber number, depending on your operator's local dialing plan. Always check with your service provider for the exact local dialing procedure.
Caller Instructions
- International callers: Dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most countries, or + from mobile phones), then 299, then 91, followed by the local number. Example: +299 91 23 45.
- Domestic callers outside Qasigannguit: Dial 91 and then the local number. Example: 91 23 45.
- Local callers within Qasigannguit: Some operators allow direct dialing of the 4-digit subscriber number, but it is safer to use the full area code.
Numbering Plan Considerations
Greenland's numbering plan is administered by the Telecommunication Regulatory Authority under the ITU-T E.164 standard. Geographic area codes are assigned to specific towns and settlements, and numbers are not portable across different geographic areas. As of the latest update, there are no overlay codes or 8-digit dialing requirements within Greenland; the national significant number (NSN) is 8 digits, including the area code.
For businesses and residents in Qasigannguit, the 91 prefix is essential for establishing a local presence. When listing a number for international customers, always include the +299 country code to ensure proper routing.
