Mobile vs. Landline Numbers

Mobile numbers

7 or 9 digits after +220.

30X XXXX at home
+220 30X XXXX international
Landline numbers

7 or 9 digits after +220. Landlines begin with an area code, for example Baja Kunda/Basse/Fatoto/Gambisara/Garawol/Misera/Sambakunda/Sudowol:

566 XXXX at home
+220 566 XXXX international

In the Gambia, mobile and landline numbers start with the same digits, so you can’t reliably tell them apart from the number alone.

Dialing Tips

  • Keep every digit: Gambia numbers have no trunk prefix, so dial them after +220 exactly as they are written locally.
  • Use the + notation: From a US mobile phone, use +220 instead of 011 220.
  • Verify the number length: Numbers in the Gambia have 7 or 9 digits after +220. If your call does not connect, check that no digit is missing or doubled.
  • Save contacts in international format: Always store phone numbers with the full +220 prefix so they work from any country.
