Gambia at a glance
I numeri e i fatti di cui hai bisogno prima di comporre il numero.
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.
Codice +220 was assigned to Gambia by the ITU under the E.164 plan. The “+” significa "comporre il prefisso di uscita internazionale locale"; su un cellulare, tieni premuto 0 per digitarlo.
All four mean the same thing — they connect your call to 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.
Full example: +220 5123456 XXX XXXX — drop the local leading 0 when calling from abroad.
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.
Landline
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 mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +220 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.

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.
