Area Code 3045 – Conakry

Overview of Area Code 3045

Area code 3045 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Conakry region, the capital and largest city of Guinea. It is part of the national numbering plan administered by the Autorité de Régulation des Postes et Télécommunications (ARPT). Conakry is the political, economic, and cultural hub of Guinea, and this code serves both residential and business subscribers within the city and its immediate suburbs.

Geographic Coverage and Administration

The code covers the entire Conakry metropolitan area, including the communes of Kaloum, Dixinn, Ratoma, Matam, and Matoto. As a geographic code, it is tied to the physical location of the fixed-line network, typically using PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) or VoIP (Voice over IP) services with a fixed address. The administrative jurisdiction is the Conakry Special Zone, which is the only region in Guinea with a single NDC for all fixed lines.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

For local callers within Conakry, the number is dialed as 3045 XXXX (8 digits total, including the NDC). For callers from other regions in Guinea, the full national format is 0 3045 XXXX (the leading 0 is used for domestic trunk prefix). International callers must dial +224 3045 XXXX (or 00224 3045 XXXX from countries using the international prefix 00).

Example: If a local number is 3045 1234, a caller from the United States would dial 011 224 3045 1234. A caller from France would dial 00 224 3045 1234. A caller from another Guinean city, such as Kankan, would dial 0 3045 1234.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Currently, there is no overlay code for Conakry; 3045 is the sole geographic NDC for fixed lines in the area. However, due to increasing demand, the ARPT may introduce additional NDCs in the future. Subscribers are advised to store numbers in international format (+224 3045 XXXX) to ensure compatibility with mobile and VoIP services.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within Conakry): Dial the 8-digit number directly (e.g., 3045 1234).
• Domestic long-distance callers: Dial 0, then the NDC and subscriber number (e.g., 0 3045 1234).
• International callers: Dial your country's exit code, then 224 (Guinea's country code), then the NDC and subscriber number (e.g., +224 3045 1234).

Always verify the number length; Guinean fixed-line numbers are 8 digits, including the NDC. If you receive a call from this prefix, it originates from a fixed line in Conakry, unless number portability has been applied (rare for fixed lines).
