Guinea-Bissau phone number format

How do you format a Guinea-Bissau phone number?

Write a Guinea-Bissau phone number with the country code +245. A mobile looks like 955 012 345 inside Guinea-Bissau and +245 955 012 345 from abroad. Mobiles have 9 digits after the country code, and the E.164 form is +245955012345. A format check confirms the digits fit the numbering plan, not that the number is in service.

How to write a Guinea-Bissau number in E.164

  1. Remove spaces, dashes, dots and brackets so only digits are left.
  2. Guinea-Bissau has no trunk prefix, so keep every digit of the national number.
  3. Put +245 in front. The result has 9 digits after the country code for a mobile.

So 955 012 345 becomes +245955012345. E.164 is the format SMS gateways, dialers and most CRMs store; see the E.164 format explained for why.

Mobile or landline?

Guinea-Bissau allocates separate number ranges to mobiles and landlines, so a numbering-plan check reads the line type straight from the digits, for free. That type describes the range the number came from. It doesn’t prove the number is connected today.

Mobile, landline and special number ranges in Guinea-Bissau

A Guinea-Bissau mobile number starts with 95, 965, 966, 969, 977 after +245. Every valid number of each type below starts with one of the digit groups shown. A number that starts the right way can still be unassigned: the groups say what a range is for, not that a number is connected.

Common questions

What is the country code for Guinea-Bissau?

How do I write a Guinea-Bissau number in international format?

Can you tell if a Guinea-Bissau number is a mobile?
Usually, yes. Guinea-Bissau numbers come from ranges allocated separately to mobiles and landlines, so a numbering-plan check reads the line type from the digits. It tells you what the range is for, not whether the number is in service.
Does a valid format mean a Guinea-Bissau number is in service?
No. A valid format means the digits fit a range Guinea-Bissau's numbering plan allocates. It cannot tell whether the number is connected today or who carries it, because numbers are reassigned and ported. A live carrier lookup reports the current carrier and line type, but even that does not prove someone answers.
