📍 Geographic Location of Boussoura
Geographic Overview
The prefix +224 3046 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Boussoura area, a district located within the Kaloum commune of Conakry, Guinea's capital and largest city.

Dialing Format and Usage
When calling a fixed-line number in Boussoura from abroad, the international format is +224 3046 XXXX (or +224 3046XXXXX depending on the total subscriber number length, which typically ranges from 8 to 9 digits after the country code). From within Guinea, callers must dial the trunk prefix 0 before the NDC, resulting in 0 3046 XXXX. For example, a local call from another part of Conakry would be placed as 030 46 XX XX (if the subscriber number is 6 digits). It is essential to note that the leading '0' is only used for domestic calls and must be omitted when dialing from overseas.
Jurisdictional and Regulatory Notes
The prefix is managed by the Autorité de Régulation des Postes et Télécommunications (ARPT), Guinea's national regulatory authority. As a geographic number, it is tied to the physical location of the line, and its usage is primarily for fixed-line PSTN services. In recent years, there has been a gradual migration of some fixed-line subscribers to VoIP or mobile alternatives, but the geographic prefix remains in use for businesses and households that require a stable, location-based number.
Caller Instructions
For international callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries), followed by 224 (Guinea's country code), then 3046 and the subscriber's number. Do not include the domestic trunk prefix '0'. Example: 011 224 3046 1234.
For domestic callers: If you are calling from a different fixed line or a mobile phone within Guinea, dial 030 46 1234 (including the '0'). If you are calling from a mobile phone, you may also need to include the area code even if you are in the same region, depending on your operator's dialing plan.
Always confirm the exact number of digits with your contact, as the subscriber number length may vary. For any issues with call completion, contact your service provider or the ARPT for assistance.
