Algeria (country code +213)
- Communication of 17.XII.2007:
The Autorité de Régulation de la Poste et des Télécommunications (ARPT), Alger, announces that the
new telephone numbering plan for Algeria will be introduced on 22 February 2008 at 0000 hours UTC.

New numbering plan for Algeria
ARPT, the national post and telecommunication regulatory authority for Algeria, has approved the new
telephone numbering plan.
ARPT, in order to facilitate the important development of mobile networks in Algeria, has defined a new
ten-digit numbering plan. The new numbering plan is intended to replace the current nine-digit plan, which is
unable to absorb the desired evolution. ARPT takes the opportunity of the new numbering plan to adopt a plan
structure that should facilitate the understanding of tariffs and the handling of telephone networks by users in
Algeria.

Implementation date for the new numbering plan
The change from the old to the new numbering plan will be carried out on Friday 22 February 2008 at
0000 hours UTC (midnight from Thursday to Friday).

Changes to be applied for international calls
The change to the new numbering plan consists in adding one new digit “N” at the beginning of a
telephone number for mobile, VSAT and non-geographical numbers used by VoIP interfaces, as indicated in the
table below.
The numbers allocated to Value-Added Services (VAS) will also have ten digits. For these numbers, the
added digit is positioned after the four digits identifying the type of service (0800, 0801, 0802, etc.). Usually,
these numbers are not the object of international calls. Moreover, VAS numbers are reorganized according to
the tariff applied to the call.
Given the technical difficulties to migrate the fixed network in a timely manner, the geographical numbers
will remain with nine digits until 2009.
For the international calls, the numbering will be modified as follows:
Note: The country code allocated to Algeria by ITU is +213.
