Notes on Tunisia Dialing
Tunisia uses an 8-digit national numbering plan. Landline numbers typically consist of a 2- or 3-digit area code followed by a 6- or 5-digit subscriber number (totaling 8 digits). Major cities like Tunis (71), Sfax (74), and Sousse (73) use 2-digit codes.
Mobile numbers in Tunisia are also 8 digits and commonly begin with 2, 4, 5, or 9 (e.g., 20 123 456). When calling a mobile number from abroad, dial: +216 2X XXX XXX.
When dialing from outside Tunisia, do not include a leading zero before the area code.
