Wallis and Futuna Country Code

How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Wallis and Futuna

Wallis and Futuna uses country calling code +681 and a very compact numbering plan: local numbers are 6 digits long (so the international format is typically +681 XX XXXX). To call from abroad, dial your international exit code (or press + on a smartphone), then 681, then the full 6-digit local number. There’s no “remove a leading 0” step here—Wallis and Futuna numbers are generally dialed exactly as published once you add +681. If you’re calling out of Wallis and Futuna to another country, the international access prefix is commonly 00 (though many phones let you use + instead). 

The difference between landlines vs mobiles is mainly the starting prefix. Fixed (landline) numbers are commonly in the 72xxxx range (so they appear as +681 72 XX XX). Mobile numbers belong to the territory’s mobile service (“Manuia”) and are commonly split by island group: 82xxxx is used for Wallis (Uvea) subscribers and 83xxxx for Futuna subscribers. Because the plan is only 6 digits, it’s best to encourage users to copy/paste and save contacts in full E.164 format like +681 82 XX XX (mobile) or +681 72 XX XX (fixed) to avoid missing digits. 

The territory is covered by a single mobile operator, Manuia (SPT – Service des Postes et Télécommunications). Wallis and Futuna is often described as having no number portability, so the prefix usually remains a practical indicator of the original service/island allocation.
