DIALING RULES

Tunisia Dialing Format & Special Rules

Key rules to know when calling landlines, mobiles, and government lines in Tunisia.

Always use +216 country code

Whether calling from a phone or browser, begin every number with +216. The 0 prefix used domestically is dropped in international format.

Landline format

Landlines use an 8-digit format after the country code: +216 [2-digit area code] [6-digit local number].

Mobile format

Mobiles begin with 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, or 27 and follow the same 8-digit pattern: +216 [2-digit prefix] [6-digit number].

No leading zeros in international format

When you see a Tunisian number written with a leading 0 (e.g., 071), drop the 0 and dial +216 71 instead.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Common Calling Issues & Solutions

Quick fixes for connection problems and what to do if your call doesn't connect.

Call doesn't connect

Verify you've dialed +216 and the full area code. Check your internet connection if using a browser dialer. For landlines, try again during business hours.

Poor audio quality

Move closer to your router or switch to a stronger Wi-Fi network. If using mobile data, ensure you have a stable signal. Audio quality on older lines may vary.

Number is not recognized

Confirm the number doesn't start with 0 in international format. Drop any leading zeros and re-dial with +216. Some private/unlisted numbers may not accept incoming international calls.

Can't reach government offices

Government lines may have restricted international calling. Try calling during standard business hours (8 AM–6 PM Tunisia time) or use a local contact number if available.
