Réunion Country Code

How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Réunion

Réunion (a French overseas department) uses the country calling code +262. Locally, phone numbers are usually written in French domestic format with a leading 0: 0262 for landlines and 0692 / 0693 (and sometimes 0694) for mobiles. When you call from mainland France, you typically dial the full 10-digit number as written (including the 0). When you call from outside France, the common rule is to dial +262 and then the number without the initial 0—so 0262 XX XX XX → +262 262 XX XX XX, and 0692 XX XX XX → +262 692 XX XX XX. 

Réunion doesn’t have different city area codes the way many countries do; the key distinction is simply fixed vs mobile prefixes. For the cleanest results across roaming and messaging apps, store Réunion numbers in international E.164 format (e.g., +262 262… or +262 692…) so you don’t accidentally keep the domestic leading 0 when calling internationally. If you’re dialing out of Réunion to another country, the typical international access prefix is 00 (or just use + on a mobile). 

What are the mobile operators in Réunion

Réunion has mobile number portability, and ARCEP specifically notes portability process changes for Réunion and Mayotte—so prefixes like 0692/0693/0694 are great for recognizing a Réunion mobile number, but they don’t reliably identify the current operator. For best results, save mobiles as +262 692 XX XX XX (or 693/694) with no leading 0. The mobile operators in Réunion are:

• Orange Réunion

• SFR Réunion

• Free Réunion

What are the emergency numbers in Réunion

Dial 112 for emergency services. You can also use 15 (medical/SAMU), 17 (police/gendarmerie), and 18 (fire brigade).
