02 — THE BASICS

What is the +249 country code?

Sudan uses the +249 country code, placing it in ITU zone 2 with the rest of Africa. Sudan is a mobile-first market: there are effectively no per-city area codes for users — you dial the full number every time.

ITU zone 2 — Africa

Sudan uses the +249 country code, placing it in ITU zone 2 — the block reserved for Africa — alongside neighbours such as Egypt +20, Ethiopia +251, Chad +235, Libya +218 + South Sudan +211. South Sudan became a separate country with its own +211 code in 2011; Sudan proper is +249 only.

TPRA-regulated

Sudan's telecom sector is overseen by the TPRA (Telecommunication and Post Regulatory Authority). Three mobile carriers serve the market: Zain Sudan, MTN Sudan + Sudani (operated by Sudatel). The market is overwhelmingly mobile — all Sudanese mobile numbers begin with 9.

Mobile-first — dial in full

For everyday use Sudan is a mobile-first market with effectively no per-city area codes. Mobile numbers are <b>9 digits beginning with 9</b> (90–99), written <b>+249 9X XXX XXXX</b>. Khartoum landlines begin with 1. You dial the <b>full number</b> every time — there is no leading 0 to remember when calling internationally, like Denmark.

DID YOU KNOW

Sudan has more ancient pyramids than Egypt. The Nubian pyramids of Meroë — a UNESCO World Heritage site — mark the ancient kingdom of Kush. Khartoum, the capital, sits at the meeting of the Blue Nile + the White Nile, and the country stretches from a Red Sea coast across vast Sahara + Nile-valley landscapes. Sudanese banks + mobile-money services verify with one-time codes sent to a +249 mobile.

03 — QUICK FACTS

A quick read on how it works.

A Sudanese phone number in international format is written as +249 9X XXX XXXX — a 9-digit mobile number beginning with 9. Example: +249 91 234 5678 for a mobile, +249 1 XXX XXXX for a Khartoum landline. Sudanese mobiles all begin with 9 (90–99).

Because Sudan is a mobile-first market with no per-city area codes, you dial the full number every time. Domestically a mobile is written with a leading 0 (09X …), but internationally you use +249 + the full subscriber number — never drop a digit. Khartoum landlines begin with 1.

Want to call Sudan from abroad? Dial your exit code (00 in most countries — including Sudan — 011 in NANP, 0011 in Australia), then 249, then the full number. On any mobile, replace the exit code with +. Never drop a digit — Sudan is mobile-first with no area-code 0.
04 — COVERAGE

Where a +249 number reaches.

From the confluence of the two Niles in Khartoum to the Red Sea port of Port Sudan, every Sudanese number lives behind a +249 — dialed in full, no area code. Pick a number that fits your customers anywhere in Sudan.

06 — WHY +249

Six reasons people pick a Sudan number.

+249 reaches a large East-African market + a vast Sudanese diaspora across the Gulf, Egypt + Europe. Sudanese banks + mobile-money services verify with a +249 mobile.

01

Bank + mobile-money OTPs

Sudanese banks + mobile-money services send one-time codes to a +249 mobile to confirm logins, transfers + payments. Without a Sudanese number, verifying these accounts from abroad can be difficult — a +249 line lets the OTPs arrive directly.

02

Reach a large diaspora

Sudan has a vast diaspora spread across the Gulf (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait), Egypt + Europe. A +249 number is a familiar, local point of contact for keeping in touch with family, community + business across these communities.

03

Khartoum commerce gateway

Khartoum — at the meeting of the Blue Nile + White Nile — is Sudan's commercial + administrative hub, together with its twin cities Omdurman + Khartoum North. A +249 number connects you to trade, services + contacts across the greater Khartoum area.

04

Nile + heritage context

Sudan spans the Nile valley, the Sahara + a Red Sea coast, and is home to the Nubian pyramids of Meroë — a UNESCO World Heritage site marking the ancient kingdom of Kush. A +249 line is the natural local number for anyone working with the region.

05

CAT: steady UTC+2 all year

Sudan runs on Central Africa Time (CAT, UTC+2) all year with no daylight-saving change. That keeps Sudan aligned with much of East + Central Africa + close to Gulf business hours, with a fixed offset that never shifts.

06

Mobile-first reachability

Sudan is overwhelmingly mobile — all subscriber numbers begin with 9 across Zain Sudan, MTN Sudan + Sudani. A +249 mobile number is the most direct, dial-in-full way to reach people + businesses anywhere in the country.
