Numbering Format
COUNTRY

Vanuatu uses a closed numbering plan under country code +678: subscribers are reached with a single 7-digit number after the country code, with no separate area code to dial.
Carriers & language
Vanuatu has 26% internet penetration and is served by 3 major mobile networks (Digicel Vanuatu, Vodafone Vanuatu (TVL), WanTok). VoIP is permitted and regulated by Telecommunications and Radiocommunications Regulator (TRR). The local currency is VUV and the primary language is English, which shape IVR prompts, SMS content, and business-hours handling.
Oceania context
Oceania's networks are geographically spread across wide time-zone gaps, so time-aware dialing and resilient international routes matter most here.
Skipping the exit code
From the US you must dial 011 before the +678 country code to reach Vanuatu.
Adding an area code that doesn't exist
There's no area-code layer in Vanuatu's closed plan — just +678 followed by the 7-digit subscriber number.
Ignoring the time difference
Pacific/Efate governs local business hours in Vanuatu; confirm the time there before placing the call.

How businesses use a Vanuatu number
Look like a local business
A +678 number with Vanuatu caller ID reads as domestic to the person picking up — unfamiliar international numbers get screened far more often.
Sales & support in one line
The same Vanuatu number handles inbound support and outbound sales calls, both landing on Tier-1 routes into Digicel Vanuatu and the wider network.
Built for Pacific/Efate hours
Multi-country teams route Vanuatu calls to whoever's actually awake and working in Pacific/Efate, without juggling separate numbers per shift.
SIP trunking for market entry
Stand up a Vanuatu presence on SIP trunking before committing to local infrastructure — the same number scales from a pilot to full local hiring.
FAQ
Calling Vanuatu — frequently asked questions
Vanuatu runs on Pacific/Efate. Knowing this helps schedule calls and support hours so they land during the local business day rather than the middle of the night for the person picking up.
Vanuatu is in Oceania. Oceania's networks are geographically spread across wide time-zone gaps, so time-aware dialing and resilient international routes matter most here.
No license restriction beyond standard regulation — Telecommunications and Radiocommunications Regulator (TRR) permits VoIP in Vanuatu for compliant operators. That keeps setup straightforward for a Twiching customer looking to call or text into the country.
