Mauritius numbering plan & how to dial
Mauritius uses a closed numbering plan under country code +230: subscribers are reached with a single 8-digit number after the country code, with no separate area code to dial.
Mauritius has 68% internet penetration and is served by 3 major mobile networks (Mauritius Telecom (MyT), Emtel, MTML). VoIP is permitted and regulated by Information and Communication Technologies Authority (ICTA). The local currency is Mauritian Rupee and the primary language is English, French, Mauritian Creole, which shape IVR prompts, SMS content, and business-hours handling.
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
From the US you must dial 011 before the +230 country code to reach Mauritius.
Adding an area code that doesn't exist
Mauritius uses a closed plan — dial the +230 country code then the 8-digit subscriber number directly, with no area code.
Ignoring the time difference
Mauritius runs on UTC+4. Check local hours before dialing so calls don't land outside business time.
