Gambia numbering plan & how to dial
Gambia's plan is closed: dial country code +220 followed directly by a 7-digit number. There's no area code layer to account for.
With 41% internet penetration, Gambia is covered by 3 major carriers — Africell Gambia, QCell, Gamtel. VoIP is permitted and regulated by PURA (Public Utilities Regulatory Authority). IVR prompts, SMS copy, and business hours here should account for the local language (English) and currency (GMD).
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
Gambia calls from the US need 011 first, then +220 — the exit code isn't optional.
Adding an area code that doesn't exist
Gambia uses a closed plan — dial the +220 country code then the 7-digit subscriber number directly, with no area code.
Ignoring the time difference
Before dialing Gambia, check the local clock — it runs on UTC+0, and off-hours calls tend to go unanswered.

FAQ
Calling Gambia — frequently asked questions
No — Gambia uses a closed numbering plan, so there's no separate area code to dial, just the country code followed directly by the subscriber number. That keeps every number in the country the same total length.
Twiching rates to Gambia start at $0.022/min, and calls back from Gambia to the US start at $0.019/min. Both directions are billed per second rather than rounded up to the nearest minute, on Tier-1 routes throughout.
Gambia uses a closed plan: a single 7-digit subscriber number directly after the country code, with no separate prefix layer. Every number in the country is the same total length as a result.
PURA (Public Utilities Regulatory Authority) is the regulator for Gambia. Twiching routes calls in line with its rules for compliant, licensed termination, rather than relying on unlicensed grey routes that can be blocked or degraded.
Yes. VoIP is permitted in Gambia, regulated by PURA (Public Utilities Regulatory Authority), so businesses can run cloud numbers and SIP termination on compliant routes. There's no special licensing hurdle for a Twiching customer to clear before calling or texting into Gambia.
No — Gambia's closed plan has no trunk prefix; the country code is followed directly by the subscriber number. That keeps the dial format identical whether the call originates domestically or from abroad.
