Numbering history

How the Numbering Plan Developed

Algeria introduced an eight-digit national significant number for fixed and mobile subscribers in December 2000. In February 2008, ARPCE expanded mobile, value-added, VSAT and non-geographic VoIP formats to ten domestic digits. Geographic fixed-line numbers remained at nine domestic digits because of technical constraints in the fixed-network migration. The current ARPCE numbering overview preserves this distinction, while the regulator-published Algérie Télécom catalogue provides the detailed OAB-to-wilaya table used here.

Coverage and identity limitation

An OAB code is a fixed-network routing and geographic allocation, not a precise address. Several codes serve multiple wilayas, and Algiers also has additional fixed capacity, including code 23, beyond this priority set. Ported, internet-based, mobile and non-geographic numbers must not be interpreted using these city associations. Always use the complete number and verify current service with the provider.

Common questions

Algeria Phone Code FAQ

What is the country calling code for Algeria?

Algeria uses country calling code +213.

Do I keep the domestic prefix when using +213?

No. Remove the domestic trunk prefix 0 before adding +213.

Can an area code identify a caller’s exact location?

No. It describes a numbering-plan association, while portability, forwarding and internet telephony can separate a number from the caller’s present location.
