Area Code 3069 – Dalaba

Geographic Overview

The area code 3069 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Dalaba region of Guinea. Dalaba is a prefecture located in the Mamou Region of central Guinea, known for its cooler highland climate and scenic Fouta Djallon landscapes. The code covers the urban and surrounding rural communities within the Dalaba administrative area.

Dialing Formats

When calling a fixed-line subscriber in Dalaba from within Guinea, the national format requires dialing the trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 3069 and the subscriber's 6-digit local number. For example, a local call to a number would be dialed as 0 3069 XX XX XX.

For international callers, the country code for Guinea is +224. The leading trunk prefix 0 is omitted. Therefore, the international dialing format becomes +224 3069 XX XX XX. If you are calling from a mobile phone abroad, simply replace the international access code (00 or +) with your country's exit code.

Caller Instructions

Local callers (within Guinea): Dial the full national number: 03069 XX XX XX (including the trunk prefix). If you are calling from a mobile network, you may also need to include the area code even if the destination is in the same region, as per the national numbering plan.

International callers: Dial your country's international exit code (e.g., 011 from the US/Canada, 00 from most European countries), then Guinea's country code 224, followed by the area code 3069 and the subscriber number. Example: +224 3069 XX XX XX.

Administrative and Technical Notes

The 3069 code is part of Guinea's geographic numbering plan, which is administered by the Autorité de Régulation des Postes et Télécommunications (ARPT). Subscriber numbers within this code are fixed-line and are primarily served by the incumbent operator, Société des Télécommunications de Guinée (Sotelgui), although other licensed operators may provide services in the area.

As with many African nations, the Guinean telecom market has seen growth in mobile and VoIP services. However, numbers under geographic codes like 3069 remain associated with fixed-line services and are subject to standard PSTN routing. Overlay or number portability may affect the direct association between the code and the physical location, but for most practical purposes, 3069 indicates a Dalaba-based fixed line.
