Côte d'Ivoire numbering plan & how to dial
Côte d'Ivoire's numbering plan is open, sitting under country code +225: a 2-digit prefix followed by a 8-digit local number, 10 digits combined. Numbers are often shown with a leading "0" for domestic use — drop it when dialing in from abroad.
With 47% internet penetration, Côte d'Ivoire is covered by 3 major carriers — Orange Côte d'Ivoire, MTN Côte d'Ivoire, Moov Africa CI. VoIP is permitted and regulated by ARTCI (Autorité de Régulation des Télécommunications/TIC de Côte d'Ivoire). IVR prompts, SMS copy, and business hours here should account for the local language (French) and currency (XOF).
Across African markets, mobile-first numbering dominates and Tier-1 interconnects are the key to consistent call delivery and CLI presentation.
Skipping the exit code
Reaching Côte d'Ivoire from the US requires the 011 exit code ahead of +225 — skip it and the call won't connect.
Keeping the national trunk "0"
If a Côte d'Ivoire number is written with a leading 0 for domestic use, omit that 0 after the +225 country code when calling from abroad.
Ignoring the time difference
UTC+0 governs local business hours in Côte d'Ivoire; confirm the time there before placing the call.

FAQ
Calling Côte d'Ivoire — frequently asked questions
The subscriber portion of a Côte d'Ivoire number is 8 digits, after the country code and area/mobile prefix. That's the part that identifies the specific line once the call has been routed to the right network.
Yamoussoukro is the capital of Côte d'Ivoire. A local +225 number is recognisable to callers there and nationwide, which is part of why presenting local caller ID tends to improve answer rates across the whole country, not just the capital.
The US exit code is 011 for any international call, including to Côte d'Ivoire. It comes right before the +225 country code, and Twiching adds both automatically when you dial from the app, so you only need to enter the local number.
Yes. Twiching provisions Côte d'Ivoire virtual numbers with local +225 caller ID for calls and, where supported, SMS. A recognisable local number tends to get answered more often than an unfamiliar international one, which makes it useful for sales, support, and building local market presence.
Yes — Côte d'Ivoire numbers are often written with a leading domestic "0" that's dropped when dialing in from abroad. Keeping that 0 on an international call is a common reason calls to Côte d'Ivoire fail to connect.
A recognisable +225 number tends to get answered more often than an unfamiliar international one — that's the main reason to present local caller ID in Côte d'Ivoire.
