How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Kiribati?

Kiribati uses country code +686 with a closed 8-digit national plan. There are no area codes and no domestic trunk prefix.

  • From abroad → any number: exit code (e.g., 011 from US/Canada) → 6868 digits. Example landline: +686 7502 1xxx (South Tarawa); example mobile: +686 730 12345.
  • Within Kiribati: dial the 8 digits exact

Mobiles vs landlines:

Landlines are geographic by initial blocks (South Tarawa zones or the Gilbert/Line/Phoenix outer islands).

Mobiles use specific 6x/7x/78x families allocated to Vodafone (ATHKL) and Ocean Link. Store all contacts in +686 format—prefixes indicate the original allocation.

What are the emergency numbers in Kiribati

Police 192, Fire 193, Ambulance 194 (Bikenibeu) / 195 (Betio), Faults 100. Many advisories also note 999 as a general emergency number; on Tarawa some pages list an operator line 199. Save 999, plus 192/193/194/195.

What are the locality prefixes in Kiribati

Dialing tip: If someone writes a Tarawa landline just as eight digits (e.g., 7502 1xxx), simply add +686 in front for international use.
