What is the country code for Wallis and Futuna?
Wallis and Futuna is a French overseas collectivity of roughly 11,500 people split across two island groups — Wallis (Uvea) and Futuna — separated by 230 kilometres of open ocean, and among the most remote inhabited territories on Earth: 16,000 kilometres from Paris and 2,000 kilometres from Fiji, the nearest significant landmass.
A single government entity, SPT (Service des Postes et Telecommunications), runs everything — landline, mobile (branded Manuia), internet, and even the postal service — under a monopoly that reflects the sheer impracticality of supporting a competitive telecom market at this population scale.
The numbering plan is refreshingly simple: every number is exactly 6 digits, with no area codes and no trunk prefix at all. Landlines start with 72; mobiles start with 82 or 83. Unlike France's overseas departments (Guadeloupe, Martinique, Reunion), which share metropolitan France's +33 code, Wallis and Futuna holds its own standalone ITU country code, +681 — the same pattern followed by its Pacific French neighbors, New Caledonia (+687) and French Polynesia (+689).
Code +681 zugewiesen wurde Wallis and Futuna 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 Wallis and Futuna.
How to call Wallis and Futuna from anywhere
The pattern: your exit code + 681 + the 6-digit subscriber number. No area code, no trunk prefix — the number dialed locally is exactly what follows +681 internationally.
Full example: +681 72 12 34 (landline) or +681 82 56 78 (Manuia mobile) — always 6 digits after the country code.
Wallis and Futuna phone number format explained
Wallis and Futuna numbers are exactly 6 digits, with the first two digits identifying the service type: 72 for landlines, 82 or 83 for mobiles on the Manuia network. There are no area codes — both Wallis and Futuna islands share the same prefix ranges — and no trunk prefix, so the domestic and international dial strings are identical apart from the +681 country code.

Wallis and Futuna mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +681 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.
SPT / Manuia
Sole telecom operator (government monopoly) covering landline, mobile, and internet under one entity; 82 was the original mobile allocation, 83 came later as adoption grew.
Wallis and Futuna time zone
Wallis and Futuna operates on Wallis and Futuna Time (WFT), UTC+12, year-round with no daylight saving — one of the first places in the world to see each new day.
Government offices and businesses generally run Monday to Friday, roughly 7:30 AM–11:30 AM and 1 PM–4:30 PM local time with a midday break. The 10-11 hour gap with metropolitan France means synchronous calls with Paris require one side to call outside normal business hours.

Common mistakes when calling Wallis and Futuna
Fast jeder fehlgeschlagene Auslandsanruf ist ein Formatierungsproblem und kein Netzwerkproblem.
Adding an area code or trunk prefix that doesn't exist
Wallis and Futuna numbers are always exactly 6 digits with no area code and no trunk prefix — dial +681 directly followed by the 6-digit number, nothing added or removed.
Assuming it shares France's +33 code
Unlike French overseas departments (Guadeloupe, Martinique, Reunion), Wallis and Futuna has its own standalone country code, +681 — calls from France are genuine international calls.
Trying to SMS a landline number
Numbers starting with 72 are landlines and cannot receive SMS — only mobile numbers (82, 83) accept text messages.
Expecting your home carrier to roam there
SPT's Manuia network has very limited international roaming agreements — many major carriers have no coverage in Wallis and Futuna at all.
Assuming Wallis and Futuna uses the Euro
It uses the CFP Franc (XPF), not the Euro — the only French Pacific territory numbering system, alongside New Caledonia and French Polynesia, that hasn't adopted the Euro.
Tips to reduce the cost of calling Wallis and Futuna
Kaufen Sie bei Ihrem Besuch eine lokale SIM-Karte
SPT sells Manuia SIM cards at its Mata-Utu office — bring an unlocked phone, since roaming from foreign carriers is often unavailable.
Use WhatsApp or Messenger for the New Caledonia diaspora connection
With a large Wallisian and Futunan community in New Caledonia, many families rely on internet-based messaging apps rather than costly traditional international calls.
Call during off-peak hours for better VoIP quality
Internet bandwidth is limited and can be congested at peak times — early morning or late evening local time tends to give more stable call quality.
Use the prefix to identify number type reliably
Since there's no number portability (SPT is the sole operator), the 72/82/83 prefix always reliably tells you landline vs. mobile.
Why businesses get a Wallis and Futuna virtual number
Wallis and Futuna's economy is small and largely dependent on French government transfers, subsistence agriculture, and fishing, with very limited private commerce. The most significant driver of telecom traffic to and from the territory is the diaspora connection — an estimated 20,000+ Wallisians and Futunans live in New Caledonia, larger than the territory's own population, and much of the international calling and messaging volume reflects that family and community connection.
A genuine local presence for a tiny, tightly-connected market
A +681 number gives government-adjacent organizations, NGOs, and Pacific-focused businesses a real local point of contact for Wallis and Futuna's small community.
Better reach for the New Caledonia diaspora connection
With a Wallisian and Futunan community in New Caledonia larger than the territory itself, a local number paired with international routing helps maintain that cross-Pacific connection.
