Get a Mali +223 number
ready in 60 seconds.
The Mali country code is +223 — reaching one of West Africa's largest nations, ~22 million Malians + tens of millions of mobile subscriptions across Orange Mali + Malitel (Moov/Sotelma). The heartland of the medieval Mali Empire + Timbuktu — Malian bank logins + Orange Money all expect a +223 mobile.
What is the +223 country code?
Mali was assigned +223 by the ITU — placing it in zone 2 with the rest of Africa. Like Denmark, Mali has no area codes at all: every number is exactly 8 digits, dialed in full.
ITU zone 2 West Africa
Mali uses the +223 country code, placing it in ITU zone 2 (Africa) alongside Senegal +221, Mauritania +222, Guinea +224, Côte d'Ivoire +225, Burkina Faso +226 + Niger +227. The full +223 prefix is unique to Mali. There are no separate territory codes — all of Mali dials under +223 only.
AMRTP-regulated
Mali's telecom numbering is administered by AMRTP (Autorité Malienne de Régulation des Télécommunications/TIC et des Postes). Two main mobile carriers serve the country: Orange Mali (the market leader) + Malitel (Moov Africa, operated by Sotelma). Mobile coverage is concentrated around Bamako + the southern regions, expanding northward.
No area codes — 8 digits
Mali uses a <b>closed 8-digit plan</b> — every Malian number, landline or mobile, is exactly <b>8 digits</b>, dialed in full with no area code + no trunk prefix. There is no leading 0 to drop. Landlines begin with <b>2</b> (20/21); mobiles begin with <b>6</b>, <b>7</b> or <b>9</b>. The same 8 digits are dialed from Bamako or from abroad.
Mali was the seat of the medieval Mali Empire. Its ruler Mansa Musa is often cited as the wealthiest person in history, thanks to the empire's vast gold. Timbuktu + Djenné — home to the Great Mosque, the world's largest mud-brick building — are UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the Niger River + the Dogon Country are cultural landmarks. Gold remains a major export, and Malian banks (BMS, Ecobank Mali) + mobile money (Orange Money, Moov Money) verify with a +223 mobile.
