How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Guinea-Bissau

Guinea-Bissau uses country code +245 with a closed 9-digit numbering plan. There’s no national trunk “0.”

  • From abroad → any number: exit code → 245 → 9 digits (e.g., +245 955 12 345).
  • Inside Guinea-Bissau: dial the same 9 digits.
  • Calling out of Guinea-Bissau: use 00 + country code + number. 

Mobiles vs landlines:

  • Landlines are geographic and begin 44 3x xxxx (see locality blocks below). Write as +245 44 3x xxxx. Guinea-Bissau doesn’t use separate city “area codes.” Fixed numbers show locality by their initial digits. 
  • Mobiles are non-geographic. Current allocations are 95x… (Orange Bissau), 96x… (Telecel — formerly MTN/Spacetel), and 97 7x… (Guinetel). Save numbers in +245 format. (MNP: no live porting database; treat prefixes as original allocations.) 

What are the emergency numbers in Guinea-Bissau

112 (general) — works countrywide. Police 117, Fire 118, Ambulance 119 are also active short codes. Save both 112 and the service-specific numbers.

What are the city and area codes in Guinea-Bissau

Dialing tip: If a local landline shows 44 34x xxxx or 44 351 xxxx, just add +245 in front for international use — there’s nothing to add or drop.
