02 — THE BASICS

What is the +220 country code?

The Gambia was assigned +220 by the ITU — placing it in zone 2 with the rest of Africa. Uniquely, The Gambia has no area codes at all: every number is exactly 7 digits, dialed in full.

ITU zone 2 West Africa

The Gambia has used the +220 country code since the ITU placed it in zone 2 — the zone covering Africa. Its neighbour Senegal, which almost entirely surrounds The Gambia, uses +221. The Gambia is the smallest country in mainland Africa, a narrow strip of land following the Gambia River out to the Atlantic.

PURA-regulated

The Gambia's telecom industry is regulated by PURA (the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority). Four mobile carriers serve the market: Africell Gambia (the largest), QCell, Gamcel (the GAMTEL mobile arm) + Comium. Mobile penetration is high + growing across the Greater Banjul Area + up-river regions.

No area codes — 7 digits

The Gambia uses a <b>closed 7-digit plan</b>. Every Gambian number — landline or mobile — is exactly <b>7 digits</b>, dialed in full with no area code + no trunk prefix. There is no leading 0 to drop. Landlines begin with <b>4</b>; mobiles begin with <b>7, 9 or 3</b> — so a Gambian mobile reads +220 7XX XXXX.

DID YOU KNOW

The Gambia is the "Smiling Coast of Africa." The smallest country in mainland Africa, it follows the Gambia River and is almost entirely surrounded by Senegal. Atlantic beaches + world-class birdwatching drive tourism, groundnuts (peanuts) are a traditional export, and Kunta Kinteh Island — a UNESCO site linked to Alex Haley's "Roots" — and the village of Juffureh recall the transatlantic slave trade. Gambian banks + mobile-money services verify with +220 mobile OTPs.

03 — QUICK FACTS

A quick read on how it works.

A Gambian phone number in international format is written as +220 NNN NNNN — always exactly 7 digits. Example: +220 700 1234 for a mobile, +220 422 1234 for a Banjul-area landline. Gambian numbers are short + uniform — there is no regional prefix to look up.

Because The Gambia uses a closed 7-digit plan with no area codes + no trunk prefix, there is no leading 0 to drop — you always dial all 7 digits, both domestically + internationally. Landlines begin with 4; mobiles begin with 7, 9 or 3.

Want to call The Gambia from abroad? Dial your exit code (00 in most countries — including The Gambia — 011 in NANP, 0011 in Australia), then 220, then all 7 digits. On any mobile, replace the exit code with +. Never drop a digit — The Gambia has no area-code 0.
04 — COVERAGE

Where a +220 number reaches.

From the ferry terminal in Banjul to Kunta Kinteh Island up-river, every Gambian number lives behind a +220 — all 7 digits, no area code. Pick a number that fits your customers anywhere in The Gambia.

06 — WHY +220

Six reasons people pick a Gambia number.

+220 reaches the "Smiling Coast" — its Atlantic tourism belt, the Greater Banjul commercial hub + a large diaspora in the UK, US + EU. Gambian banks + mobile-money wallets verify with a +220 mobile.

01

Bank + mobile-money OTPs

Gambian banks (Trust Bank, GTBank Gambia, Ecobank Gambia, Access Bank, Zenith Bank) + mobile-money wallets (Africell Money, QodooPay + carrier wallets) send one-time codes to a +220 mobile. Without a Gambian number, completing bank logins + wallet verifications from abroad is hard.

02

"Smiling Coast" beach tourism gateway

A +220 line plugs you into The Gambia's tourism economy — the Atlantic beaches of Kololi, Kotu, Bakau + Senegambia, world-class birdwatching, river safaris + heritage tours to Kunta Kinteh Island + Juffureh. Hotels, tour operators + guides all run on +220 numbers.

03

Diaspora reach — UK, US + EU

The Gambia has a large diaspora across the UK, US, Spain + Germany. A +220 number keeps you reachable for family, remittances + community calls — and lets diaspora businesses present a local Gambian line for customers back home.

04

Banjul commercial hub

A +220 number connects you to Greater Banjul — Banjul, Serekunda, Kanifing + Brikama — the dense commercial heart of The Gambia where most trade, ferry traffic, ports + business activity concentrate.

05

GMT: aligned with UK + West Africa

The Gambia runs on GMT (UTC+0) all year with no daylight saving — the same clock as London in winter, Senegal, Mali + much of West Africa. Business hours align cleanly with both Europe + the rest of the region.

06

7 digits, no area codes — the simplest plan

The Gambia's closed 7-digit numbering plan is one of the cleanest anywhere: every number is exactly 7 digits, dialed the same way everywhere, with no area code + no trunk 0 to remember. <b>+220 700 1234</b> is dialed identically from Banjul, Basse or abroad.

Frequently asked.

The country code for The Gambia is +220. It is the international dialing prefix used to call any phone number in The Gambia — landline or mobile — assigned by the ITU. The Gambia sits in ITU zone 2, the zone covering Africa, next to Senegal +221.
The +220 country code was assigned to The Gambia by the ITU — placing it in ITU zone 2, which covers Africa. The Gambia +220 sits right beside Senegal +221, the country that almost entirely surrounds it.
From the US, dial 011 (NANP exit code), then 220, then all 7 digits of the Gambian number. Example: 011 220 700 1234 for a mobile, or 011 220 422 1234 for a landline. On any mobile, replace 011 with +. Never drop a digit — The Gambia has no area-code 0.
From the UK, dial 00 (UK exit code), then 220, then all 7 digits. Example: 00 220 700 1234 for a mobile. Or use +220 700 1234 from any UK mobile. The UK is home to a large Gambian diaspora, so this is one of the busiest routes to +220.
From Senegal, dial 00 (Senegal exit code), then 220, then all 7 digits. Example: 00 220 700 1234. Senegal almost entirely surrounds The Gambia, so Senegal–Gambia is the heaviest land-border telecom route.
A Gambian phone number in international format is written as +220 NNN NNNN — always exactly 7 digits. Example: +220 700 1234 for a mobile, +220 422 1234 for a Banjul-area landline. There is no area code + no leading 0.
No. The Gambia uses a closed 7-digit numbering plan. Every Gambian number — landline + mobile — is exactly 7 digits, dialed in full with no trunk prefix + no area code. There is no leading 0 to add or drop. The same 7 digits are dialed from Banjul, Basse or abroad.
PURA allocates mobile ranges starting with 7, 9 + 3 across the carriers (Africell Gambia, QCell, Gamcel + Comium), while landlines begin with 4. So a Gambian mobile in international format reads +220 7XX XXXX (or 9XX / 3XX). All numbers are exactly 7 digits + fully dialed.
The Gambia has no area codes, so Banjul has no dedicated dialing prefix. Banjul-area landlines typically begin with 4 (e.g. 422, 449), but this is a number range, not an area code — the full number is always 7 digits, e.g. +220 422 1234. Mobiles serving Banjul begin with 7, 9 or 3.
+220 800 is the Gambian toll-free range — calls are free for the caller; the business pays. Used by Gambian banks, utilities + larger service providers for customer-service lines. Like every Gambian number, toll-free numbers are dialed in full with all 7 digits.
The Gambia runs on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) all year, with no daylight saving. The clocks never change. This is the same time as London in winter, and the same as Senegal, Mali + much of West Africa year-round.
Yes. CallMama issues a real Gambian +220 number from anywhere with internet access — no Gambia address required + no in-person KYC. You get a full 7-digit Gambian number, live in about 60 seconds.
Yes — they mean the same Gambia country code, written different ways. +220 is the ITU-T E.123 international format. 00220 is the manual form: 00 + 220. Both are followed by the same 7-digit Gambian number.
In The Gambia, 117 is the police emergency number. 118 reaches the fire service + 116 reaches the ambulance service. These short codes are dialed directly inside The Gambia + are separate from the 7-digit national numbering plan.
A +220 number lets tourists + the Gambian diaspora stay reachable on a local line — booking hotels, tours + transport along the Atlantic coast, calling family, sending remittances + receiving Gambian bank + mobile-money OTPs. Because the plan is a simple 7-digit closed plan, the number is dialed the same way everywhere.
The Gambia is the smallest country in mainland Africa — a narrow strip following the Gambia River out to the Atlantic, almost entirely surrounded by Senegal. Its curved shape on the map, warm welcome + sunny beaches earned it the nickname the "Smiling Coast of Africa." Every phone there sits behind the +220 country code.
