Telephone Numbers In Cape Verde
The following are telephone codes in Cape Verde. Overview Telephone numbers in Cape Verde are 7 digits long (except for special 1xx codes), and must always be dialed in their entirety (a closed dialing plan). The first 3 digits of a fixed-line (non-mobile) number correspond to its geographic area. Calls within a given 2xx area, and between certain areas, are considered local calls and priced accordingly. Mobile numbers have no geographic area, and calls to or from national mobile numbers are treated the same regardless of location. History On July 3 2004, 2 was prepended to all fixed-line numbers, and 9 to all mobile numbers, increasing the number length to 7 digits. Calling format * xxx xxxx - calling inside Cape Verde * +238 xxx xxxx - calling from outside Cape Verde The NSN length is seven digits. Numbering plan Number ranges In all cases listed, when a 2x range is split between two islands, one takes 2x0 through 2x4, while the other takes 2x5 through 2x9. ...
