Niger phone number format

How do you format a Niger phone number?

Write a Niger phone number with the country code +227. A mobile looks like 93 12 34 56 inside Niger and +227 93 12 34 56 from abroad. Mobiles have 8 digits after the country code, and the E.164 form is +22793123456. A format check confirms the digits fit the numbering plan, not that the number is in service.

Example Niger phone numbers

These are the example numbers from Google’s libphonenumber data, the same numbering-plan data our validator uses, written three ways.

How to write a Niger number in E.164

1. Remove spaces, dashes, dots and brackets so only digits are left.
2. Niger has no trunk prefix, so keep every digit of the national number.
3. Put +227 in front. The result has 8 digits after the country code for a mobile.

So 93 12 34 56 becomes +22793123456. E.164 is the format SMS gateways, dialers and most CRMs store; see the E.164 format explained for why.

Mobile or landline?

Niger 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 Niger

A Niger mobile number starts with 23, 70, 74, 76, 77, 8, 9 after +227. 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.

Does a valid format mean a Niger number is in service?

No. A valid format means the digits fit a range Niger's numbering plan allocates. It cannot tell whether the number is connected today or who carries it, because numbers are reassigned and ported.
