The history behind Ghana phone numbers
The history of Ghana phone numbers dates back to the early 1990s, when the government of Ghana decided to liberalize the telecommunications sector and open it up to private investment. Prior to this, the country's telecommunications sector was state-owned and operated by the Ghana Post and Telecommunications Corporation (GPTC).
In 1991, the government established the National Communications Authority (NCA) to oversee the development and regulation of the telecommunications sector. The NCA awarded licenses to private companies to provide telecommunications services, including mobile phone services.
The first mobile phone network in Ghana was launched in 1992 by Mobitel, which was later acquired by Spacefon (now MTN Ghana). Other mobile phone networks followed, including Tigo (now AirtelTigo), Vodafone Ghana, and Glo Mobile Ghana.
Initially, mobile phone numbers in Ghana were six digits long, but in 2010, the NCA announced plans to introduce a new numbering plan that would make all phone numbers in Ghana ten digits long. This change was necessary to accommodate the growing number of mobile phone users in the country and to ensure that there were enough available phone numbers to meet demand.
The new numbering plan was implemented in 2011, and all phone numbers in Ghana were changed to ten digits. The first digit of a phone number in Ghana now indicates the network the number is registered to, with the following nine digits being the unique number assigned to each individual phone.
Technical info on Ghana phone numbers
Ghana phone numbers follow the international format of +233 followed by a nine-digit number. The first digit of the nine-digit number indicates the network provider or service type. For instance, a phone number that starts with 024 belongs to the MTN network while a number that starts with 054 belongs to the Vodafone network.
Ghana's phone numbers are regulated by the National Communications Authority (NCA) to ensure proper numbering and efficient use of the country's limited number range.
