Guinea-Bissau | +245 |
Area Code: none Subscriber Number: 7 digits (July 2008, previously 6 digits) Trunk Prefix: n/a International Prefix: 00 (formerly 099)
Mobile numbers which were already 7 digits remain unchanged at that time.
There was no indication whether there would be a permissive phase-in period, or whether these changes were splash-cut where existing 6-digit numbers are immediately invalid.
