How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in French Polynesia

French Polynesia uses country code +689 and a closed 8-digit plan. From abroad, dial your international exit code → 689 → the 8 digits (e.g., +689 40 46 40 46). Inside the territory, you dial the same 8 digits. Calls placed from French Polynesia to overseas use the international prefix 00 (e.g., 00 33… to France). There are no area codes and no trunk “0.” 

  • Landlines: start with 40 (geographic) or 49 (non-geographic/VoIP). Write as +689 40 xx xx xx. Note: some 44 xx xx ranges are reserved (audiotex) and may be blocked by origin networks. 
  • Mobiles: +689 87 xx xx xx (Vini), +689 88 xx xx xx (Viti), +689 89 xx xx xx (Vodafone/PMT). As of March 2025, mobile number portability is planned but not yet operational, so prefixes generally still reflect the issuing operator. 

What are the emergency numbers in French Polynesia

112 (general EU emergency), 15 (medical/SAMU), 17 (police/gendarmerie), 18 (fire). Local sea-rescue via 16 (VHF/phone). Save contacts for your island in case coverage is spotty.
