Communication of 24.XII.2020
The
Autorité de Régulation des Télécommunications/TIC de Côte d’Ivoire (ARTCI)
, Abidjan, wishes to reiterate its announcement of July 2020 regarding the change in format and the introduction of the new national numbering plan, effective as of
0000 hours GMT on 31 January 2021
.
All administrations, recognized operating agencies and service providers are requested to initiate the necessary programming of the changes announced in July 2020 (see below) into their networks by
31 January 2021 (0000 hours GMT)
to enable subscribers to access related services.
In complement to the communication issued in July 2020, ARTCI wishes to emphasize that, following the changeover to the new dialling format, all calls to Côte d'Ivoire mobile numbers must include the digit "0" after the ITU-T E.164 country code "225", as it is part of the national (significant) number (N(S)N). The numbers for mobile telephone service providers will therefore be as follows: +225
01
XX XX XXXX, +225
05
XX XX XXXX and +225
07
XX XX XXXX for MOOV CI, MTN CI and ORANGE CI respectively.
Communication of 13.VII.2020
The
Autorité de Régulation des Télécommunications/TIC de Côte d’Ivoire (ARTCI)
, Abidjan, hereby announces the modification of the national numbering plan of Côte d’Ivoire, from eight (8) to ten (10) digits, effective
31 January 2021
in Côte d’Ivoire (country code: 225).
The change to ten (10) figures is being made in order to cope with the saturation of mobile service number resources on the one hand and ensure the availability of numbers on the other, thereby meeting the ever increasing demands of mobile telephone operators and future services, such as the Internet of Things.
Under the new ten-digit numbering plan, numbers will be structured as follows:
XZABPQMCDU
.
The theoretical maximum capacity of the ten-digit numbering plan is ten (10) billion numbers for all telecommunication services.
The minimum number length (excluding country code) is
3 digits
and the maximum number length (excluding country code) is
10 digits
.
1. Presentation of national ten-digit numbering plan
a) General
The method by which the numbering plan is used is based on sharing according to service type.
In the chain
XZABPQMCDU
, X denotes the services as follows:
· X = 0 for mobile telephone services;
· X = 1 for assistance and emergency services;
· X = 2 for fixed telephone services (geographic and non-geographic);
· X = 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 for future services (future reserves);
· X = 8, 9 for value-added services.
b) Detailed presentation of new national numbering plan
(see Annex 1)
2. Changeover
Aside from the country code (225) preceding the subscriber number in the event of calls originating from abroad, the changeover will consist in adding a prefix
XZ
to the old eight-digit numbers (ABPQMCDU) of the fixed and mobile telephone services. After the changeover on 31 January 2021, this will result in the following:
a)
Mobile telephone services
– To call a MOOV CI subscriber, it is necessary to dial "
01
" followed by the old eight-digit number;
– To call an MTN CI subscriber, it is necessary to dial "
05
" followed by the old eight-digit number;
– To call an ORANGE CI subscriber, it is necessary to dial "
07
" followed by the old eight-digit number;
b)
Fixed telephone services
– To call a MOOV CI subscriber, it is necessary to dial "
21
" followed by the old eight-digit number;
– To call an MTN CI subscriber, it is necessary to dial "
25
" followed by the old eight-digit number;
– To call an ORANGE CI subscriber, it is necessary to dial "
27
" followed by the old eight-digit number;
c)
Emergency, assistance and value-added services
The numbers for emergency, assistance and value-added services, which vary in length from three to eight digits, remain unchanged.
