International dialling format: +220 XXX XXXX

Communication of 19.XI.2015

The Gambia Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA), Bakau, has observed with great concern the usage of Gambian telephone numbers with country code 220 by illegal service providers to indulge into certain malpractices including but not limited to fraud and adult services.

In this vein, PURA, therefore wishes to announce of such malpractices and consequently urges all Operators/Service providers to ensure all numbers dialled with The Gambian Country Code are routed to The Gambia and must not be terminated in any other country.

All stakeholders are thus, kindly requested to instruct their Operators/Service Providers to route all Gambian numbers to Gambia via the international network and not to Premium Rate service providers.
