How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Equatorial Guinea

Equatorial Guinea uses country code +240 with a 9-digit national number. From abroad, dial your exit code → 240 → the 9 digits. Inside the country, dial the same 9 digits; international calls from Equatorial Guinea use 00. There is no domestic trunk “0.”

Landlines (fixed): Equatorial Guinea doesn’t use separate “area codes”. Numbers begin 3…. You’ll see operator blocks like 33x… (GETESA) or 35x… (HiTs/Muni). One digit inside the number indicates the region: 9 = Bioko (incl. Malabo), 8 = Litoral/Annobón (incl. Bata, Annobón), 7 = Centro-Sur/Kié-Ntem/Wele-Nzás. Example fixed listings: +240 333-095-741 (Malabo), +240 333-081-659 (Bata).

Mobiles: Mobile numbers are non-geographic and commonly start 222… (GETESA) or 551… (Muni/HiTs). Format internationally as +240 222/551 XXX XXX.

Emergency numbers (Equatorial Guinea): Frequently cited numbers are Ambulance 112, Fire 115, Police 113/114. Coverage and response vary; U.S. advisories note limited ambulance/trauma services, so confirm local emergency contacts with your hotel or host.

What are the city and area codes in Equatorial Guinea

Dialing tip: If you see a local fixed format like 333-096-333 (Malabo), just prepend +240. There’s no “0” to add or drop, and no separate city code.

City	Area Code	International Dialing Format
Malabo (Bioko Norte)	region digit 9 in the fixed number. Tip: public listings often show 333… for Malabo.
Bata (Litoral)	region digit 8.
Annobón (San Antonio de Palé)	region digit 8 within 33x/35x fixed numbers.
Interior provinces (Centro-Sur, Kié-Ntem, Wele-Nzás; e.g., Evinayong, Ebebiyín, Mongomo)	region digit 7 within 33x/35x blocks.

Which mobile prefixes do mobile operators use in Equatorial Guinea

Dialing tip: From the U.S./Canada dial 011 240 {9 digits}; from most of Europe use 00 240 {9 digits} (or +240… on mobiles). Save numbers in full international form—+240 222/551/55x…—so they work across carriers and roaming

Mobile Operator	Dialing Prefixes
GETESA (state operator)	mobiles commonly 222…
Muni / HiTs G.E. S.A.	mobiles commonly 551…
GECOMSA	additional operator launched in 2012; numbering uses the 55x mobile family in practice (public examples show 555…), but official allocation details are less widely published.
