Number ranges & quality

RangeTypeNotes
Starts with 7X, 9 digits Mobile carrier Senegal has no trunk prefix and numbers are always 9 digits. The numbering plan ARTP notified to the ITU (updated October 2023): 77 and 78 are SONATEL (Orange), 76 Free, 70 Expresso, 72 CSU SA (Hayo), 75 is reserved for MVNOs (such as Promobile) and 79 is ADIE; four-digit blocks were added later within these ranges, e.g. 7865–7870 (SONATEL) and 7693–7699 (Saga Africa Holdings, in the Free range). Numbers starting with 3 are landlines. Numbers are portable, so a range only tells you who it was first given to.

Physical SIMs can sign up without issues. Senegal blocked TikTok at one point during unrest, so local numbers may face restrictions.

Carriers & prefixes

Mobile prefixes by carrier.

Number portability applies — a prefix only shows the original carrier.

Porting rules in full

Numbers are portable; ARTP launched it on 1 September 2015 (according to Senegal's ICT observatory Osiris, about 15 million subscribers could then switch keeping their number, using a central database with direct routing). We haven't confirmed the deadline from an ARTP text, so none is given.
