02 — THE BASICS

What is the +245 country code?

Guinea-Bissau was assigned +245 by the ITU — placing it in zone 2 with the rest of Africa. Uniquely, Guinea-Bissau has no area codes at all: every number is a 7-digit mobile-first string, dialed in full.

ITU zone 2 West Africa

Guinea-Bissau uses the +245 country code in ITU zone 2, the world zone for Africa. It sits alongside its West African neighbours — Senegal +221 to the north + Guinea (Conakry) +224 to the south + east. Crucially, +245 is <b>Guinea-Bissau</b> — not Guinea/Guinea-Conakry (+224) + not Equatorial Guinea (+240). The three African "Guineas" are constantly confused.

ARN-regulated

Guinea-Bissau's telecommunications are regulated by ARN (Autoridade Reguladora Nacional). Two mobile carriers serve the country: MTN Guinea-Bissau + Orange Bissau. The network is overwhelmingly mobile — mobile phones vastly outnumber the few remaining fixed lines, and prepaid SIMs are the norm.

No area codes — 7 digits

Guinea-Bissau has no area codes. Every number is <b>7 digits</b>, dialed in full with no trunk prefix + no leading 0 to drop. The plan is mobile-first: mobile numbers begin with <b>9</b>, <b>5</b> or <b>6</b> (e.g. +245 9XX XXXX). Internationally you dial +245 followed by all 7 digits — never drop a digit, exactly like Denmark's 8-digit plan.

DID YOU KNOW

Guinea-Bissau is Lusophone West Africa. A former Portuguese colony, it is one of the few Portuguese-speaking countries in the region — though Guinea-Bissau Creole ("Kriol") is the everyday lingua franca. Offshore lies the Bijagós Archipelago, a UNESCO biosphere reserve of 88 islands famous for saltwater hippos + sea turtles. Cashew nuts are by far the largest export, and Bissau-Guinean banks + mobile-money services verify with one-time codes sent to a +245 mobile.

03 — QUICK FACTS

A quick read on how it works.

A Guinea-Bissau phone number in international format is written as +245 NNN NNNN — always 7 digits. Example: +245 955 1234 + +245 966 1234 for mobiles. Mobile numbers begin with 9, 5 or 6. Guinea-Bissau uses the West African CFA franc (XOF / FCFA) + has Bissau as its capital.

Because Guinea-Bissau 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. Just prefix +245 from abroad. Mobiles dominate the network; fixed lines are rare.

Want to call Guinea-Bissau from abroad? Dial your exit code (00 in most countries — including Guinea-Bissau — 011 in NANP, 0011 in Australia), then 245, then all 7 digits. On any mobile, replace the exit code with +. Never drop a digit — Guinea-Bissau has no area-code 0.

From the old quarter of Bissau to the Bijagós islands, every Bissau-Guinean number lives behind a +245 — all 7 digits, no area code. Pick a number that fits your customers anywhere in Guinea-Bissau.

Tip: Guinea-Bissau has no area codes — every number is 7 digits, dialed in full. There is no leading 0 to drop. Mobiles begin with 9, 5 or 6. Remember +245 is Guinea-Bissau, not Guinea +224 or Equatorial Guinea +240.

06 — WHY +245

Six reasons people pick a Guinea-Bissau number.

+245 reaches a Lusophone West African market on the Atlantic coast — cashew exports, eco-tourism + a growing diaspora. Bissau-Guinean banks + mobile money verify with a +245 mobile.

01

Bank + mobile-money OTPs

Bissau-Guinean banks + mobile-money services (built on MTN + Orange networks) send one-time verification codes to a +245 mobile. Without a Guinea-Bissau number, registering for local banking, mobile wallets + many app sign-ups is hard to complete from abroad.

02

Cashew-export + trade business

Cashew nuts are by far Guinea-Bissau's largest export, and the seasonal cashew trade drives much of the economy. A +245 line lets exporters, buyers + agents reach suppliers, brokers + the port of Bissau with a local presence.

03

Bijagós + eco-tourism reach

The Bijagós Archipelago — a UNESCO biosphere reserve of 88 islands famed for saltwater hippos + sea turtles — draws eco-tourism, research + conservation work. A local +245 number connects lodges, guides + visitors on the ground.

04

Diaspora reach (Portugal + Senegal)

Large Bissau-Guinean communities live in Portugal + neighbouring Senegal, plus France, Spain + the Gambia. A +245 number keeps family, remittance + community calls local-rate + familiar for relatives back home.

05

GMT / UTC+0 alignment

Guinea-Bissau runs on GMT (UTC+0) all year with no daylight saving — the same clock as the UK in winter + close to Portugal + Senegal. Business hours line up cleanly with Western Europe + the rest of West Africa.

06

Lusophone-market reach

As one of the few Portuguese-speaking countries in West Africa, Guinea-Bissau links into the wider Lusophone world (Portugal, Cape Verde, Brazil + the PALOP bloc). A +245 line is a natural bridge for Portuguese-language business across that network.

10 — ANSWERS

Frequently asked.

The country code for Guinea-Bissau is +245. It is the international dialing prefix used to call any phone number in Guinea-Bissau — landline or mobile — assigned by the ITU in zone 2 (Africa). Guinea-Bissau sits alongside Senegal +221 + Guinea (Conakry) +224 in West Africa.
The +245 country code was assigned to Guinea-Bissau by the ITU, placing it in ITU zone 2 — the world zone for Africa. The 2XX block covers West + Central Africa, so neighbours like Senegal +221, Mauritania +222 + Guinea +224 share the same range.
No — these are three different countries that are constantly confused. Guinea-Bissau (capital Bissau, Portuguese-speaking) uses +245. Guinea — also called Guinea-Conakry (capital Conakry, French-speaking) — uses +224. Equatorial Guinea (capital Malabo, Spanish-speaking) uses +240. Papua New Guinea, an unrelated Pacific nation, uses +675. Always check the code: +245 means Guinea-Bissau specifically.
From the US, dial 011 (NANP exit code), then 245, then all 7 digits of the Bissau-Guinean number. Example: 011 245 955 1234 for a mobile. On any mobile, replace 011 with +. Never drop a digit — Guinea-Bissau has no area-code 0.
From the UK, dial 00 (UK exit code), then 245, then all 7 digits. Example: 00 245 966 1234. Or use +245 955 1234 from any UK mobile.
From Portugal, dial 00 (Portugal exit code), then 245, then all 7 digits. Example: 00 245 955 1234. Portugal hosts one of the largest Bissau-Guinean diaspora communities, making this one of the busiest +245 routes.
From Senegal, dial 00 (Senegal exit code), then 245, then all 7 digits. Example: 00 245 966 1234. Senegal borders Guinea-Bissau to the north + hosts a large Bissau-Guinean community, so cross-border +245 traffic is heavy.
A Bissau-Guinean phone number in international format is written as +245 NNN NNNN — always 7 digits. Example: +245 955 1234 + +245 966 1234 for mobiles. Mobile numbers begin with 9, 5 or 6.
No. Guinea-Bissau uses a closed 7-digit numbering plan with no area codes. Every number — landline or mobile — is 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 Bissau, Gabú or abroad. The plan is mobile-first: numbers begin with 9, 5 or 6.
In Guinea-Bissau\'s mobile-first plan, mobile numbers begin with 9 (and also 5 or 6), allocated to the carriers MTN Guinea-Bissau + Orange Bissau by the regulator ARN. There is no separate area code — the leading digit identifies the number as a mobile, and the full number is always 7 digits.
Guinea-Bissau has no area codes, so the capital Bissau has no dedicated dialing prefix. Whether a number is in Bissau or anywhere else in the country, it is the same 7-digit format dialed in full, e.g. +245 955 1234. Mobiles begin with 9, 5 or 6 regardless of location.
+245 800 is the Bissau-Guinean toll-free range — calls are free for the caller; the business pays. Toll-free 800 numbers are used by banks, larger businesses + service lines. As with every Guinea-Bissau number, they are dialed in full with no area code.
Guinea-Bissau runs on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) all year, with no daylight saving. The clock never changes. This is the same time as the UK in winter + close to Portugal + Senegal, so calls into +245 align cleanly with Western Europe + West Africa.
Yes. CallMama issues a real Bissau-Guinean +245 number from anywhere with internet access — no Guinea-Bissau address required, no in-person KYC. You get a full 7-digit Guinea-Bissau number, live in about 60 seconds.
Yes — they mean the same Guinea-Bissau country code, written different ways. +245 is the ITU-T E.123 international format. 00245 is the manual form: 00 + 245. Both reach Guinea-Bissau — not Guinea +224 or Equatorial Guinea +240.
Guinea-Bissau uses 117 as the emergency number for the police, and 119 for the fire service. These short codes are dialed directly within Guinea-Bissau. The international exit code from Guinea-Bissau is 00.
