Area codes and number shapes in Equatorial Guinea
Area codes matter most when you are calling desks, switchboards, hotels, schools, clinics, or other fixed-line routes. Mobiles often reveal themselves through a different opening pattern, so understanding both shapes makes the route easier to read.
Landline 2403 · Mobile 240
Local opening digits still help you read the route
A local landline can open with 2403, while a direct personal mobile can open with 240. That difference is often enough to tell desk routes from personal ones.
Example landline: +240 333 091 234.
Example mobile: +240 222 123 456.
+240 + area code + local number
Keep the full shape exactly as written
