How to read a Ivory Coast phone number

Ivory Coast uses no trunk prefix, so the national number is dialled exactly as written after the country code.
Mobile prefixes
Landline prefixes
Prefix ranges still identify a line as mobile or fixed even where a number has been ported between operators, because the mobile and fixed blocks are separate and numbers do not move between them. Operator identification from a prefix, by contrast, stopped being reliable once portability arrived.

What is the country code for Ivory Coast?
The country code for Ivory Coast is +225. Dial this after the exit code (or use + on a mobile).
What does a Ivory Coast phone number look like?
A Ivory Coast number is written as +225 27 20 12 34 56: the country code +225 followed by 10 digits. That total is fixed by the national numbering plan, so a number with one digit missing is a typo rather than a shorter valid number.
How can I tell if a Ivory Coast number is a mobile?
By its leading digits. In Ivory Coast, a national number of 10 digits beginning with 0, 4, 5, 6, 7 is a mobile. That still works after a number has been ported between operators, because mobile and fixed-line blocks are separate ranges and numbers do not move between them.
Do I need to drop the leading 0 when calling Ivory Coast?
Ivory Coast does not use a trunk prefix, so you dial the local number exactly as-is after the country code.
