Number ranges & quality

RangeTypeNotes
8 digits, starting 2, 4, 5 or 9 Mobile carrier Tunisia has no trunk prefix and numbers are always 8 digits. The numbering plan the regulator INT notified to the ITU in 2015: Ooredoo has 2X (20–29) and the 4600 block, Orange has 50–55, 58 and the 5600 block, Tunisie Télécom has 9X (90–99), 40, 41, 44 and 421–426; the MVNOs Lycamobile and Watany Ettisalat have the 4300 and 4500 blocks. 7X is Tunisie Télécom's landline range, and 30–32, 36 and 39 are Orange's and Ooredoo's “restricted mobility” numbers. Numbers are portable, so a range only tells you who it 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.

Carriers & prefixes

Mobile prefixes by carrier.

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

Porting rules in full

Numbers are portable: INT's decision of 19 October 2022 states that since porting went commercial on 16 May 2016 it has been a legal obligation for operators and a right for users. The same decision bans operators (MVNOs included) from giving any call or data bonus for porting in — prompted by people porting just to collect freebies and then throwing the SIM away.
