Overview of Area Code 672 (Meemu Atoll)
Area code 672 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Meemu Atoll in the Republic of Maldives. This atoll is located in the central part of the Maldivian archipelago and comprises several inhabited islands, including the administrative capital Muli, as well as other islands such as Madifushi, Naalaafushi, and Kolhufushi. The code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within this administrative division.
Dialing Formats
To call a fixed-line number in Meemu Atoll, the international dialing format is:
- International:
+960 672 XXXX(replace XXXX with the subscriber's 4-digit line number) - Domestic (within Maldives):
0 672 XXXX(note the leading trunk prefix '0' when dialing from within the country)
For example, if the local number is 1234, an international caller would dial +960 672 1234, while a caller within Maldives would dial 0672 1234.
Caller Instructions
For international callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries), followed by the Maldives country code 960, then the area code 672 and the subscriber number. Do not include the trunk prefix '0'.
For domestic callers: Dial the trunk prefix 0, then the area code 672, and the subscriber number. If you are calling from a mobile phone within Maldives, you may also need to include the trunk prefix, as mobile numbers are typically 7 digits and do not use area codes.
Numbering Plan Considerations
Maldives uses a closed numbering plan for fixed lines, where the NDC (area code) is 3 digits and the subscriber number is 4 digits, resulting in a total national significant number (NSN) length of 7 digits. The country code is +960. There are no overlay codes in Maldives; each geographic area has a unique NDC. The Meemu Atoll code 672 is distinct from other atoll codes, such as 658 for Seenu or 695 for Gaafu Dhaalu.
As with all geographic codes, numbers under 672 are tied to physical locations and are not portable to other atolls or to mobile networks. Calls to 672 numbers are typically charged at standard fixed-line rates, which may vary depending on the caller's operator and the destination.
