Gambia at a glance
Die Zahlen und Fakten, die Sie vor dem Wählen benötigen.
What is the country code for Gambia?
The Gambia's country code is +220, and the numbering behind it is as economical as the country is small. There are no area codes and no trunk prefix — just a single flat 7-digit number that works the same whether a neighbour dials it locally or you append it to +220 from the other side of the world. A narrow strip of a nation along one river, The Gambia simply doesn't need a sprawling geographic plan.
Code +220 zugewiesen wurde Gambia von der ITU im Rahmen des E.164-Plans. Der “+” bedeutet „Wählen Sie Ihren lokalen internationalen Exit-Code“; Halten Sie auf einem Mobiltelefon die Taste gedrückt 0 um es zu tippen.
Alle vier bedeuten dasselbe – sie verbinden Ihren Anruf mit Gambia.
How to call Gambia from anywhere
Just two things to remember plus the number: your exit code, then 220, then the 7 digits. No area code to look up, no leading 0 to strip — what you see is what you dial.

Gambia phone number format explained
Seven digits, every time — no area codes anywhere in The Gambia. Instead of geography, the very first digit does the sorting: it tells you whether you've got a fixed line or a mobile, and on mobiles which network it started on.
Festnetz
7 digits, typically opening with 4 (Gamtel fixed ranges). Example: 4 123 456 → +220 4 123 456.
Mobile
7 digits, first digit marks the operator range (5 / 6 / 7 / 9). Example: 7 123 456 → +220 7 123 456.

Gambia time zone
The Gambia sits right on the prime meridian's clock: Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) all year, no daylight saving. Being a compact, single-zone country, the whole place reads the same time — and in winter that time is identical to London's.
Because Banjul holds GMT year-round, a UK or West African caller is already in sync — late morning to mid-afternoon (10:00–16:00 GMT) covers The Gambia's workday and reaches US East Coast mornings by the back end.
