+249 Country Code
for Sudan
Sudan uses country calling code +249. Its published geographic fixed-line plan associates three-digit locality codes with cities such as Khartoum, Omdurman, Port Sudan and Wad Madani. A leading 0 is used in domestic long-distance form and must be removed after +249. South Sudan has used the separate country code +211 since 2011.

Quick answer
How to Use Country Code +249
The plus sign represents the international access method used by your phone or network.
Inside Sudan
Example: 0185 555 012
Domestic trunk or access rule: 0.
Dialing detail
Use trunk prefix 0 before a geographic code in the domestic format and remove it after +249. For example, domestic 0185 becomes international +249 185. Confirm reachability with the recipient or operator because a published allocation does not guarantee current service.
Country Code vs. Area Code
+249 routes a call to Sudan. A geographic area code then identifies a fixed-line numbering area or range. Do not create a duplicate global “249 area code” page for the same country-code intent.

National Number Format
The published standard format contains 9 national significant digits; geographic fixed-line numbers normally combine a 3-digit locality code with a 6-digit subscriber number, while several operator and mobile formats use different destination-code structures.
The locality codes below reproduce TPRA’s consolidated geographic table presented to ITU in 2018; they are allocation references, not proof that an exchange is currently operating. War has caused extensive damage to Sudan’s telecommunications infrastructure, and communications disruptions were still being reported in conflict-affected areas in June 2026. Availability can differ by locality, operator, power supply and security conditions. A code also cannot reveal a subscriber, current carrier or live physical location.
