Communication of 4.VI.2013

The Office Malagasy d’Etudes et de Régulation des Télécommunications (OMERT), Antananarivo, announces the numbering plan of Madagascar:

  • nternational numbering format:     +261 AB Z PQMCDU

where:

              +                      international prefix
              AB                  operator code (two digits for each operator)
              Z                      area code (described as administrative area)
              PQMCDU     subscriber number

  • Country code 261

Country code 261 for all existing telecommunication networks in Madagascar.

  • AB – operator code

Each operator is identified by two digits described by the characters AB:

              20-29      identification code for fixed service operators,
              30-39      identification code for mobile service operators

  • Z – area code valid for Telecom Malagasy (fixed-service operator)

Madagascar is divided into six zones:

              Z = 2        Antananarivo zone
              Z = 4        Antananarivo zone (rest of the province)
              Z = 5        Toamasina zone
              Z = 6        Mahajanga zone
              Z = 7        Fianarantsoa zone
              Z = 8        Antsiranana zone
              Z = 9        Toliara zone

At national level, a closed numbering system of seven digits is used. That is, all subscriber numbers requested to the same operator Telecom Malagasy (local and national) can be obtained by dialling seven digits (ZPQMCDU).

  • Calling a subscriber of another operator

Digit “0” is reserved for calling a subscriber of another operator. For local and national communications, it is followed by the operator's code (AB) plus the area code (Z) and the subscriber number (PQMCDU).

  • International prefix

Prefix “00” is used to access international networks.
