How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Niger

Niger’s country calling code is +227. Niger uses an 8-digit national numbering plan, and in day-to-day use you typically dial the full 8 digits inside Niger. From abroad, you dial your international exit code (or +), then 227, then the same 8 digits (for example: +227 20 20 XX XX for many Niamey fixed lines, or +227 96 XX XX XX for a mobile).

The main difference between landlines vs mobiles is the starting prefix. Fixed (wireline) numbers commonly start with 20 (and some wireless local loop services use 21 or 23), while mobile numbers use non-geographic mobile prefixes such as 70/80/81/82, 83, 86–89, 90–93, and 94–99 depending on the operator and allocation. If you come across older contacts stored in a shorter/legacy format, it’s best to confirm the modern 8-digit number and then save it as +227 plus all 8 digits for consistent calling and messaging across countries.

What are the emergency numbers in Niger

Niger’s commonly listed emergency short codes include 15 (SAMU/emergency medical services), 16 (Gendarmerie), 17 (Police assistance), and 18 (Fire department). Some networks also support 112 for emergency calls, and 118 is also listed for the fire department.

What are the city and area codes in Niger

Dialing tip: In Niger, these are leading prefixes inside the full 8-digit number (not something you add/remove like a trunk “0”). So locally you dial all 8 digits, and internationally you dial +227 plus the same 8 digits.

Which mobile prefixes do mobile operators use in Niger

Dialing tip: Prefixes in Niger are generally a useful “operator hint,” and ITU reporting lists no requirement for mobile number portability (so prefixes are typically more stable than in MNP countries).

Airtel Niger (legacy name: Celtel in numbering references)	86, 87, 88, 89, 96, 97, 98, 99
