Togo numbering plan & how to dial
Under country code +228, Togo runs a closed numbering plan — just a 8-digit subscriber number after the country code, no area code required.
Togo has 29% internet penetration and is served by 3 major mobile networks (Togocel, Moov Africa Togo, Canalbox). VoIP is permitted and regulated by Autorité de Régulation des Communications Électroniques et des Postes (ARCEP Togo). The local currency is West African CFA Franc and the primary language is French, 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
Togo calls from the US need 011 first, then +228 — the exit code isn't optional.
Adding an area code that doesn't exist
There's no area-code layer in Togo's closed plan — just +228 followed by the 8-digit subscriber number.
Ignoring the time difference
Togo runs on UTC+0. Check local hours before dialing so calls don't land outside business time.

Calling Togo — frequently asked questions

No — Togo isn't part of the NANP. It has its own country code, +228, under the international E.164 numbering system, which is why calls from the US need the 011 exit code first.
