What is the country code for Madagascar?
+261 is the gateway to Madagascar — slot it in after your exit code to ring any Malagasy line, fixed or mobile. What follows is distinctive: a 2-digit operator code carries the routing, with 20 reserved for the fixed network and 32, 33, 34, 37 and 38 split across the mobile carriers. A trunk 0 leads the number at home, but it's local-only baggage — leave it off when you dial in from abroad.
कोड +261 को सौंपा गया था Madagascar आईटीयू द्वारा ई.164 योजना के तहत। “+” इसका अर्थ है "अपना स्थानीय अंतर्राष्ट्रीय निकास कोड डायल करें"; मोबाइल पर, दबाकर रखें 0 इसे टाइप करने के लिए.
इन चारों का मतलब एक ही है - वे आपकी कॉल को कनेक्ट करते हैं Madagascar.
How to call Madagascar from anywhere
Line them up in order: your exit code, then 261, then the national number with its leading 0 removed. That sequence carries the call across the Mozambique Channel to any handset on the island.

Madagascar phone number format explained
Every Malagasy number opens on a 2-digit operator code rather than a city code. Fixed lines run 20, then a single zone digit, then the local number — that zone digit is what pins the call to a region. Mobiles drop the geography and lead with their carrier's 2-digit code (32, 33, 34, 37 or 38) ahead of a 7-digit subscriber number.

Madagascar mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +261 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.
Orange Madagascar
32 (also 37).
Airtel Madagascar
33.
Telma Mobile
34 (also 38). Telma is generally considered to have the widest coverage, including rural areas.
Madagascar time zone
Though it sits in the Indian Ocean, Madagascar keeps East Africa Time, UTC+3, all year — no daylight saving, so the gap to your clock stays put. That puts the island three hours ahead of London and a full working day ahead of the Americas.
From the US East Coast, dial late afternoon (15:00–18:00 ET) to catch the Malagasy evening. From Europe, a mid-morning-to-afternoon swing (09:00–15:00 CET) sits comfortably inside the island's working day.

Common mistakes when calling Madagascar
लगभग हर विफल अंतर्राष्ट्रीय कॉल एक फ़ॉर्मेटिंग समस्या है, नेटवर्क समस्या नहीं।
Reading "20" as a city code
it isn't. 20 is the fixed-network operator code; the digit that actually marks the region (2 for Antananarivo) comes right after it. Mistake the structure and you'll mangle every landline.
Leaving the trunk 0 in
dial +261 32…, never +261 032….
Dropping the operator code
every Malagasy number opens on one (20 for fixed, 32/33/34/37/38 for mobile).
Forgetting Telma's split
Telma rides both 34 and its newer 38 range, so don't assume one or the other.
Doing daylight-saving math
Madagascar holds at UTC+3 the whole year.
Tips to reduce the cost of calling Madagascar
Trade carrier IDD rates for VoIP or a virtual number.
Reach for the fixed network (20…) when you can
it usually terminates cheaper than mobile.
Group your calls inside the Malagasy working day so fewer go unanswered.

Madagascar +261 — FAQ
Why does a Madagascar number start with an operator code, not an area code?expand_more
The plan is built around carriers: 20 routes the fixed network, and 32/33/34/37/38 each belong to a mobile operator. The geographic zone digit only appears after 20 on landlines.
How do I dial a landline in Antananarivo from abroad?expand_more
Use +261 20 22 followed by the local number — 20 is the fixed code, 2 is the highland-capital zone, 22 the city.
Which mobile prefixes map to which network?expand_more
32 (and 37) is Orange, 33 is Airtel, and 34 plus 38 are Telma.
Why does Telma have two prefixes?expand_more
Demand outgrew the original 34 block, so Telma added the newer 38 range — both are live.
Do I drop the 0 when calling in from overseas?expand_more
Yes — the trunk 0 is purely domestic; replace it with +261.
Which network reaches the remote parts of the island?expand_more
Telma is generally credited with the broadest footprint, including rural areas off the main routes.
Does Madagascar shift its clocks for summer?expand_more
No — it stays on EAT (UTC+3) all year, despite its Indian Ocean position.
Can I hold a +261 number without being on the island?expand_more
Yes — MCM issues local Madagascar DIDs that route to wherever you operate.
