How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Chad

Chad uses country code +235 and an 8-digit closed numbering plan. From abroad, dial exit code → 2358 digits. Inside Chad, dial the same 8 digits (there’s no national trunk “0”). International calls placed from Chad use the 00 prefix. Example formats: landline +235 22 51 XX XX (N’Djamena), mobile +235 66 XX XX XX (Airtel). 

Mobiles vs landlines: Fixed lines start with 22 followed by geographic sub-prefixes (see city list below). Mobile numbers start with operator ranges: Airtel uses 63 / 65 / 66, Moov Africa (ex-Tigo) uses 95 / 99, and Salam (Sotel Tchad) uses 77. Note: mobile number portability (MNP) was decreed in Oct 2020 and authorities have continued working on enforcement through 2025, so a prefix shows the original allocation and may not reflect the current network. Always dial the full number as written.

What are the city and area codes in Chad

Dialing tip: If a local fixed number is written 22…, just add +235 in front for international format—there’s no “0” to remove.

Which mobile prefixes do mobile operators use in Chad

Dialing tip: Chad’s mobile prefixes indicate the original network (Airtel 63/65/66; Moov 95/99; Salam 77). Because MNP has been mandated and implementation steps continue, don’t rely on the prefix to identify the current carrier - dial the full number
Mobile Operator Dialing Prefixes
Airtel Tchad
63, 65, 66 (Includes the 6500 0000–6599 9999 block assigned by the regulator.)
Moov Africa Tchad (ex-Tigo / Millicom)
95, 99
Salam (Sotel Tchad)
77 (Sotel’s legacy “Salam” mobile service.)
