Vanuatu numbering plan & how to dial
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.
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'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.
