Solomon Islands Country Code

How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in the Solomon Islands

The Solomon Islands uses country calling code +677. Dialing is refreshingly simple because there’s no trunk “0” to add or remove. From abroad, you dial +677 followed by the full local number; within the Solomon Islands, you dial the local number as-is. Landlines (fixed lines) are typically 5 digits (e.g., +677 XX XXX), while mobile numbers are typically 7 digits (e.g., +677 7XX XXXX or +677 8XX XXXX). The international call prefix used when dialing out of the Solomon Islands is commonly listed as 00 (some references also list 01). 

In practice, you can usually tell the type of number by its length and starting digits: many fixed lines in Honiara and provincial centers fall into specific 5-digit ranges, while mobiles are 7 digits and are commonly grouped by operator (e.g., 7xx xxxx vs 8xx xxxx). For the cleanest user experience (especially for roaming and messaging apps), publish and store all numbers in E.164 format as +677 plus the full digits.
