How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Guernsey

Guernsey uses the UK country code +44 with a dedicated geographic area code 1481 for landlines.

From abroad (non-UK/CI) to a landline: exit code → 44 → 1481 → 6-digit local number. Example: +44 1481 700700.

From the UK/CI to Guernsey landlines: dial 01481 + six digits.

Within Guernsey (local landline): dial the 6-digit number.

International calls from Guernsey: use 00 + country code + number (or just + on mobiles).

Mobiles vs landlines: Mobile numbers use 07xxx xxx xxx ranges. Guernsey has no separate city area codes; locality is shown by the first digits of the 6-digit local number. Common Guernsey allocations are 07781 (Sure), 07839 (Airtel-Vodafone, now moved into Sure’s systems), and 07911 (JT/Wave). Due to mobile number portability (MNP) in the Channel Islands (since Dec 2008), prefixes show the original allocation only; a number can be ported between local operators (but not between islands). Format from abroad as +44 7781… / +44 7839… / +44 7911… (drop the UK trunk 0).

What are the emergency numbers in Guernsey

999 and 112 both reach police, fire, ambulance (and lifeboat/Coastguard). Either number works from any phone.

What are the city and area codes in Guernsey
