27 January 2005: updated numbering plan announced

Morocco national telecom regulator ANRT announced the current state of its telephone numbering plan.

Area code plus subscriber number, excluding prefixes, should total 8 digits.

Short codes: 15 fire, 19 police, 1xx other services.

Closed dialling format is in effect, with 0 trunk prefix and full area code/subscriber number to be dialled on all normal domestic calls, whether local or long distance.

Globalstar North Africa mobile service was announced for range +212 92 0xxxxx through +212 92 2xxxxx.

Details: see ANRT announcement (27 January 2005, via ITU).

13 October 2000 - national numbering length expands from 7 to 8 digits

An extra digit will be prepended to Morocco's existing 7-digit national numbers effective 13 October 2000 11pm UTC/GMT. This will be a splash cut, with no permissive transition period from the old numbering. Dialing the old number after the change was to result in a recorded advisory message.

The prefix digit is determined by the number's location or service:

Area/Service          Digit
---------------------------
Casablanca, Settat      2
Rabat, Tanger, Tetouan  3
Agadir, Marrakech       4
Fes, Meknes, Oujda      5
Mobile and Paging       6
Special 6-digit service numbers that began with 92 (of the 92xxxx range) will then require a 092 prefix within Morocco e.g. 921234 becomes 092 921234.

Toll-free "green" numbers, universal access and "kiosk" numbers expand by adding the digit '0' in the middle - between the first and last four digits e.g. 08001234 becomes 0800 0 1234.

1990 - 6-digit national number length
