These phone numbers are currently unavailable

The area code/prefix is not in our inventory of available numbers

  • This can change but we don't usually have solid timelines on this
  • Some numbers go in and out of stock more often, for example Miami 305 and San Francisco 415
  • In some cases the reason for the area not being available is regulatory (as opposed to an inventory issue)

  • Whenever our system has to route calls to a standard phone number, a minimal per minute rate applies

    • Learn more about call forwarding

Technical info on Tanzanian phone numbers

In Tanzania, phone numbers are 10 digits long and are structured in such a way that they can identify the network provider and the region in which the number is registered. The first four digits of a Tanzanian phone number represent the network provider, while the remaining six digits indicate the unique subscriber number.

The three main network providers in Tanzania are Vodacom, Airtel, and Tigo. Vodacom is the largest network provider in Tanzania, and its phone numbers start with the digits 075 or 065. Airtel, the second-largest provider, uses the prefixes 068, 078, and 077, while Tigo's numbers begin with 071, 065, and 067.

It is important to note that Tanzania uses a closed numbering plan, which means that phone numbers cannot be ported between network providers. Additionally, mobile number portability (MNP) is not yet available in Tanzania, although it is expected to be introduced in the near future.
