Notes:
1. For local and national calls
The numbers are planned for closed dialling. Except for emergency and special numbers, which
are three-digit numbers, every local subscriber must dial a ten-digit number (i.e., including the area code)
for every local and national call, whether it is from a fixed or mobile phone.
General format of the dialling plan: 0YXABCXXXX
2. For international calls
Incoming calls: international dialling format is +251YXABCXXXX. The national trunk dialling prefix
“0” will not be dialled in this case.
Outgoing calls: outgoing international calls are made by dialling the international dialling prefix “00”
before the country code of the number to be called.
Administrations/ROAs are requested to update their exchange data and inform all interested
customers.
