Mauritius | +230 |
Area Code: none Subscriber Number: 7 digits Trunk Prefix: n/a International Prefix: 00 (pre-selected); 0x0 (carrier selection)
The previous plan was to migrate all numbering to 8-digit format on 1 January 2007 but this was postponed due to limitations of the phone switching equipment. Therefore ICT Authority decided to conduct the expansion in two phases, with mobile or non-geographic numbers first. Wireless local loop services with numbers beginning in '5' were being decommissioned by late 2009, therefore the leading '5' digit became available to prepend to existing mobile numbers.
There was no scheduling indicated for the planned second phase to expand fixed/geographic numbers.

Code Carrier ==== ======= 020 Mauritius Telecom 030 Emtel 040 Data Communication (DCL) 050 Hotlink 060 Mahanagar Telephone Mauritius (MTML) 070 CityCallFor fixed telephone service, International prefix 00 changes from being a "default" prefix to a "pre-selected" prefix. The difference is that 00 previously routed international calls through a particular carrier by default. Now, callers must make arrangement with their local carriers to pre-select a carrier to which 00 will route international calls.
00 continued to function as a default international prefix in most cases until 30 June 2004. As of 1 July 2004, the 00 carrier must be pre-selected. An exception is for calls from payphones where 00 will be defaulted to a carrier determined by the payphone operator.
Mobile carriers are another exception to these changes. These still use a "+ sign" prefix for international calls as routed through a default international carrier determined by the mobile company.
