Area Code 3091 – N'Zérékoré

Overview of Area Code 3091

Area code 3091 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of N'Zérékoré, the administrative capital of the N'Zérékoré Region in southeastern Guinea. This region is part of the Guinée Forestière (Forest Guinea) area, bordering Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire. The code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within the city and its immediate surroundings, including the communes of N'Zérékoré-Centre, and nearby localities such as Koulé and Soulouta.

Dialing Formats

When calling a fixed-line number in N'Zérékoré from within Guinea, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 3091 and the subscriber's 6-digit local number. For example, a local number might be 123456, so the national format would be 0 3091 123456.

From abroad, callers must use the international access prefix (typically 00 or +), followed by Guinea's country calling code +224, then the area code 3091 (without the leading zero) and the 6-digit subscriber number. The international format would be +224 3091 123456.

Geographic Coverage and Administration

The N'Zérékoré region is one of Guinea's eight administrative regions and is subdivided into prefectures, with N'Zérékoré serving as the regional capital. The area code 3091 specifically covers the urban and peri-urban zones of N'Zérékoré city, which is a major commercial hub for the region, known for its markets and proximity to the Mount Nimba Strict Nature Reserve (a UNESCO World Heritage site).

Calling Instructions

• Local callers (within Guinea): Dial 0 3091 [subscriber number] from any fixed or mobile line.
• International callers: Dial your country's exit code, then +224 3091 [subscriber number].
• Important: When calling from a mobile phone within Guinea, the same national format applies; however, be aware that mobile numbers in Guinea begin with 6 or 7 and are not part of the geographic numbering plan.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan, there is no overlay code for N'Zérékoré; the area code 3091 remains unique for fixed-line services in the city. The subscriber number length is six digits, making the total national significant number (NSN) length 9 digits (including the leading 0). The numbering plan is closed, meaning the full number must be dialed even for local calls.

For businesses or residents in N'Zérékoré, it is essential to ensure that all published numbers include the area code to avoid misdialing, especially as the region continues to develop its telecommunications infrastructure.
