Number ranges & quality

RangeTypeNotes
Starts with 07X, 10 digits (9 without the 0) Mobile carrier Rwandan mobile numbers are 0 plus 9 digits. The only numbering plan notified to the ITU is from 2009: 78 was MTN Rwanda, 72 TIGO Rwanda and 75 Rwandatel. The market has changed a lot since (Tigo's Rwandan business is now part of Airtel) and nothing newer has been notified, so treat this only as a guide to who a range was first given to.

Physical SIMs can sign up without issues, but virtual numbers and recycled ranges face stricter risk control on some platforms — use a freshly issued physical SIM.
