📍 Geographic Location of Ngiwal State

Geographic Overview

The +680 67 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Ngiwal State, one of the sixteen states of the Republic of Palau, located on the island of Babeldaob. Ngiwal is a small administrative state on the eastern coast of Babeldaob, known for its traditional villages, pristine beaches, and the Ngiwal State Capitol. The prefix serves the state's fixed-line telephone subscribers, including government offices, local businesses, and residential lines.

Dialing Formats

When calling a Ngiwal number from within Palau, subscribers must dial the seven-digit national number, which includes the NDC '67' followed by a five-digit subscriber number. For example, a local call to a Ngiwal line would be dialed as 67XXXXX.

For international callers, the full E.164 format is required: +680 67XXXXX. This format is used for calls originating from any country outside Palau. The leading '+' indicates the international access prefix, which varies by country (e.g., '011' from the US, '00' from most European countries).

Caller Instructions

  • Local callers (within Palau): Dial the seven-digit number directly (e.g., 67XXXXX). No trunk prefix is used in Palau's national dialing plan.
  • International callers: Dial your country's exit code, then Palau's country code +680, followed by the seven-digit number (e.g., from the US: 011 680 67XXXXX).

Regulatory and Technical Notes

Palau's telecommunications network is regulated by the Palau National Communications Corporation (PNCC), which operates the fixed-line infrastructure. Geographic prefixes like 67 are allocated based on state boundaries, and number portability is not widely implemented for fixed lines. Calls to Ngiwal are routed over the PSTN, and as with all Palauan numbers, the maximum length is seven digits after the country code.

For VoIP users, it is essential to ensure that your service provider supports calls to Palau and that you use the correct international format. Some VoIP providers may require a different access code, but the destination number remains +680 67XXXXX.

When dialing from a mobile phone, the same international format applies. Always verify the subscriber number length, as it is fixed at five digits after the NDC. This prefix is not used for mobile services; mobile numbers in Palau begin with different prefixes (e.g., 8x).
