02 — THE BASICS

What is the +248 country code?

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.

ITU zone 2 Indian Ocean

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.

DICT-regulated

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.

No area codes — 7 digits

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.

DID YOU KNOW

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.

03 — QUICK FACTS

A quick read on how it works.

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).

Want to call Seychelles from abroad? Dial your exit code (00 in most countries — including Seychelles — 011 in NANP, 0011 in Australia), then 248, then all 7 digits. On any mobile, replace the exit code with +. Never drop a digit — Seychelles has no area-code 0.

06 — WHY +248

Six reasons people pick a Seychelles number.

+248 reaches Africa's highest-GDP-per-capita nation + the Indian Ocean's luxury-tourism + honeymoon capital. Seychellois banks + every resort booking verify with a +248 mobile.

01

Seychellois bank OTPs

Seychellois banks (Seychelles Commercial Bank, Nouvobanq, Mauritius Commercial Bank Seychelles, ABSA Seychelles, Bank of Baroda) deliver one-time codes to a +248 mobile. Without a Seychelles number, completing local bank logins + verifications from abroad is hard.

02

Luxury-tourism + resort gateway

A +248 line connects you to the Indian Ocean's premier luxury-tourism + honeymoon market — five-star resorts on Mahé, Praslin + La Digue, dive operators, yacht charters + private-island lodges. Tourism is the backbone of the Seychellois economy + every resort booking runs on a +248 line.

03

Offshore-finance + IBC reach

Seychelles is a well-known offshore-finance + International Business Company (IBC) jurisdiction. A +248 number gives company agents, fund managers + corporate-services firms a credible local presence into the Seychellois financial-services sector.

04

Africa's highest GDP per capita

Seychelles has the highest GDP per capita in Africa — a small, affluent, English- + French-speaking market. A +248 number is essential for any business selling into the islands' tourism, finance + tuna-fishing economy.

05

UTC+4: aligned with the Gulf

Seychelles runs on SCT (UTC+4) all year with no daylight saving — the same clock as the UAE, Oman + Mauritius. That makes +248 lines convenient for Gulf-based tourism, finance + trade partners, with clean overlap into European mornings.

06

The simplest 7-digit plan

Seychelles' 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>+248 251 2345</b> is dialed identically on Mahé, on Praslin or from abroad.

10 — ANSWERS

Frequently asked.

The country code for Seychelles is +248. It is the international dialing prefix used to call any phone number in Seychelles — landline or mobile — assigned by the ITU. Seychelles sits in ITU zone 2 (the African zone) alongside Mauritius +230, Madagascar +261, Comoros +269 + Kenya +254.
The +248 country code was assigned to Seychelles by the ITU — placing it in ITU zone 2, the African + Indian Ocean zone. The "2" leading digit marks the African zone; "248" is unique to Seychelles, an archipelago of 115 islands northeast of Madagascar.
From the US, dial 011 (NANP exit code), then 248, then all 7 digits of the Seychellois number. Example: 011 248 251 2345 for a mobile, or 011 248 428 1234 for a Victoria landline. On any mobile, replace 011 with +. Never drop a digit — Seychelles has no area-code 0.
From the UK, dial 00 (UK exit code), then 248, then all 7 digits. Example: 00 248 251 2345 for a Seychellois mobile. Or use +248 428 1234 from any UK mobile.
From France, dial 00 (France exit code), then 248, then all 7 digits. Example: 00 248 251 2345 for a mobile. France is a major source market for Seychellois tourism, and French is one of the three official languages of Seychelles.
From the UAE, dial 00 (UAE exit code), then 248, then all 7 digits. Example: 00 248 251 2345 for a mobile. The UAE shares the same UTC+4 clock as Seychelles, making Gulf-Seychelles business hours line up perfectly.
A Seychellois phone number in international format is written as +248 NNN NNNN — always exactly 7 digits, commonly grouped 3 + 4. Example: +248 251 2345 for a mobile, +248 428 1234 for a Victoria landline.
No. Seychelles uses a closed 7-digit numbering plan with no area codes at all. Every Seychellois 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 on Mahé, on Praslin or from abroad.
In the Seychelles closed numbering plan, the first digit indicates the line type: mobiles begin with 2 (e.g. +248 2XX XXXX) + landlines begin with 4 (e.g. +248 4XX XXXX). Mobiles are served by Cable & Wireless Seychelles + Airtel Seychelles. The full number is always 7 digits.
Seychelles has no area codes, so Victoria — the capital, on Mahé — has no dedicated dialing prefix. Victoria-area landlines begin with 4 (e.g. +248 428 1234), but this is a line-type digit, not an area code — the full number is always 7 digits. Mobiles on Mahé + the other islands begin with 2.
+248 800 is the Seychellois toll-free range — calls are free for the caller; the business pays. Used by Seychellois banks, government services, airlines + resorts for customer-service + booking lines. The full number is still 7 digits, dialed in full.
Seychelles runs on Seychelles Time (SCT, UTC+4) all year round, with no daylight saving. The clocks never change. That is the same offset as the UAE, Oman + Mauritius — four hours ahead of UTC + three hours ahead of CET in winter.

Yes. Seychelles is the Indian Ocean\'s luxury-tourism + honeymoon capital — Mahé, Praslin + La Digue, with the granite-boulder beach Anse Source d\'Argent + UNESCO sites Aldabra + the Vallée de Mai.
