Telephone numbers in East Timor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Country Code: 670
Until September 1999, East Timor formed part of the Indonesian numbering plan, using the Country Code +62, followed by area codes for the two largest cities, Dili (390) and Baucau (399). Following the violence in the wake of Indonesia's departure from the territory, most of the telecommunications infrastructure was destroyed, and Telkom Indonesia withdrew its services from East Timor.
A new country code +670 was allocated to East Timor, but international access often remains severely limited. A complicating factor is the fact that 670 was previously used by the Northern Marianas, with many carriers not aware that the code is now used by East Timor. (The Northern Marianas, now part of the North American Numbering Plan, use the code 1 and the area code 670.)
East Timor now has a closed numbering plan; all subscribers' numbers are seven digits.
Telephone numbering in East Timor is as follows:
Mobile: 72X-YYYY Service Numbers: 721-XXXX Fixed: 32X-YYYY (numbering range in Dili) Government Departments: 333-YYYY Ambulance Service: 110 Fire Dept: 115 Emergency: 112 International access code: 00
