How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Cocos (Keeling) Islands

Cocos (Keeling) Islands use Australia’s numbering plan. For landlines from abroad, dial your exit code → 61 → 8 → 9162 → the last 4 digits (e.g., +61 8 9162 6790). Within Australia (including the islands), dial 08 9162 XXXX. International calls from the islands use Australia’s 0011 prefix.

Mobiles vs landlines: There is no public mobile voice network on Cocos today. Telstra confirms it does not operate a mobile network there; instead, a local provider (Indian Ocean Territories Telecom, IOTT) runs 4G LTE data coverage across much of the atoll (used via MiFi/routers and Wi-Fi calling where available). Practically, visitors and residents rely on landlines (+61 8 9162 …) and data/Wi-Fi for calls (VoIP or Wi-Fi Calling).

Which mobile prefixes do mobile operators use in Cocos (Keeling) Islands

Dialing tip: For contacts sharing an Australian mobile number (e.g., 04xx xxx xxx), convert to +61 4xx xxx xxx. Whether that handset actually works on Cocos depends on Wi-Fi Calling/data availability; do not expect normal terrestrial mobile coverage.

Mobile Operator	Dialing Prefixes
IOTT 4G LTE (local provider)	provides data coverage across much of the atoll/lagoon (used via SIM/MiFi/routers). This is data-centric, not a conventional GSM voice service.
