The Seychelles country code is +248 — reaching Africa's highest-GDP-per-capita nation, an Indian Ocean archipelago of 115 islands + ~120,000 people served by Cable & Wireless Seychelles + Airtel Seychelles. The luxury-tourism + honeymoon capital of the Indian Ocean — Seychellois bank logins all expect a +248 mobile.
Seychelles was assigned +248 by the ITU — placing it in zone 2 with Africa + the Indian Ocean. Uniquely, Seychelles has no area codes at all: every number is exactly 7 digits, dialed in full.
Seychelles has used the +248 country code since the ITU placed it in zone 2 — the African zone — alongside neighbours such as Mauritius +230, Madagascar +261, Comoros +269, Réunion +262 + Kenya +254. The "248" code is unique to Seychelles, an Indian Ocean archipelago of 115 granitic + coral islands northeast of Madagascar.
Seychelles' telephone numbering is administered by DICT (the Department of Information, Communications & Technology). Two mobile carriers serve the islands: Cable & Wireless Seychelles (the incumbent) + Airtel Seychelles. 4G LTE covers Mahé, Praslin + La Digue — the three main inhabited islands, home to nearly all of the ~120,000 population.
Seychelles uses no area codes. Every Seychellois number — landline or mobile — is exactly <b>7 digits</b>, dialed in full with no trunk prefix. There is no leading 0 to drop. Landlines begin with <b>4</b> (e.g. 4XX XXXX); mobiles begin with <b>2</b> (e.g. +248 2XX XXXX). The same 7 digits are dialed on Mahé, on Praslin or from abroad.
Seychelles is the richest country in Africa per capita. This Indian Ocean archipelago of 115 islands is a luxury-tourism + honeymoon destination — Mahé, Praslin + La Digue, with the famous granite-boulder beach Anse Source d'Argent. It is home to Aldabra giant tortoises + the Aldabra Atoll (a UNESCO World Heritage site) + to the Vallée de Mai (another UNESCO site) where the giant coco de mer palm grows. The inner islands are among the oldest oceanic granitic islands on Earth, and Seychellois banks verify logins with a +248 mobile OTP.
A Seychellois phone number in international format is written as +248 NNN NNNN — always exactly 7 digits. Example: +248 251 2345 for a mobile, +248 428 1234 for a Victoria-area landline. Seychellois numbers are commonly grouped 3 + 4 for readability.
Because Seychelles 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 2 (+248 2XX XXXX).
From the Clock Tower in Victoria to the granite boulders of Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue, every Seychellois number lives behind a +248 — all 7 digits, no area code. Pick a number that fits your customers across the islands.
Every country uses a different exit code before +248. From any mobile, + replaces the exit code — so +248 251 2345 works worldwide. Seychellois numbers are always 7 digits — never drop a digit.
