02The basics

What is the country code for Algeria?

Algeria's country code is +213. Add it after your own exit code to reach any Algerian landline or mobile from abroad — and note it's just one digit away from the US 213 (Los Angeles), a slip that trips up plenty of callers. Inside Algeria, numbers carry a leading 0 trunk prefix; drop that 0 internationally and put +213 in its place.

Under the ITU E.164 plan, +213 is Algeria's unique country code.

+21300213011 21300 213

All four mean the same thing — they connect your call to Algeria.

03Dialing format

How to call Algeria from anywhere

04Number format

Algeria phone number format explained

Algerian numbers run 9 digits after the country code (10 domestically, counting the leading 0). That 0 is a national trunk prefix — keep it at home, drop it the moment you prefix +213. You'll often see the digits written in pairs (71 23 45), the rhythm in which Algerians say them in French and Arabic alike.

Algeria mobile network prefixes

The prefix after +213 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.

M

Mobilis (ATM Mobilis)

prefixes 0660–0669 (after +213: 66X). State-owned operator with the widest rural reach.

D

Djezzy (Optimum Telecom)

prefixes 0770–0779 (after +213: 77X). Largest subscriber base, strong urban data network.

O

Ooredoo (formerly Nedjma)

prefixes 0550–0559 (after +213: 55X). Qatar-backed operator focused on 4G coverage.

07Time zone

Algeria time zone

Algeria holds Central European Time, UTC+01:00, all year with no daylight saving. Here's the catch for the France route: in winter Algiers and Paris share a clock, but once France springs forward in summer, Algiers slips an hour behind it — so a call that felt simultaneous in January is offset by an hour in July.

최고의 통화 창구

09:00–13:00 Algiers time lands squarely in the French and European working morning — just remember it reads as 10:00–14:00 in Paris during summer; 14:00–16:00 Algiers reaches the US East Coast as it starts the day.

Common mistakes when calling Algeria

거의 모든 국제 전화 실패는 네트워크 문제가 아니라 형식 문제입니다.

Confusing +213 (Algeria) with the US 213 area code for Los Angeles

they look almost identical, so double-check the + and the country prefix before you dial.

Assuming Algiers always matches Paris on the clock

it does in winter, but Algeria never moves for daylight saving while France does, leaving an hour's gap in summer.

Keeping the leading 0 after +213 (dialing +213 0661… fails

drop the 0).

Using an old "Nedjma" prefix instead of Ooredoo's current 55X range

10돈을 절약

Tips to reduce the cost of calling Algeria

Route France-to-Algeria traffic over VoIP/SIP rather than paying carrier IDD across the Mediterranean.

Give contacts a local +213 number to dial instead of an international one.

Catch the 09:00–13:00 Algiers window for first-try answers

but convert to Paris time in summer so you don't ring an hour early.

Buy on wholesale termination rates instead of retail mobile surcharges.

FAQ

Algeria +213 — FAQ

How do I call Algeria from France?expand_more

Dial 00, then 213, then the number without its leading 0 — it's the busiest international route into the country.

Isn't +213 the same as the Los Angeles 213 area code?expand_more

No — +213 (with the plus and your exit code) is Algeria's country code; the US 213 is a domestic area code. The resemblance is the single most common dialing slip.

Is Algiers on the same time as Paris?expand_more

Only in winter. Algeria stays at UTC+01:00 year-round while France shifts to summer time, so from spring to autumn Algiers is an hour behind Paris.

Which operator owns a prefix?expand_more

66X is Mobilis, 77X is Djezzy and 55X is Ooredoo (the old "Nedjma" prefixes are retired).

Do I drop the leading 0?expand_more

Yes — it's a domestic trunk prefix, so remove it right after +213.

What are the main city area codes?expand_more

Algiers 21, Oran 41, Constantine 31 and Annaba 38.

How long is an Algerian number?expand_more

Nine digits after +213, or ten domestically with the leading 0, usually written in pairs.

Can a non-resident get an Algeria number?expand_more

Yes — MCM provisions +213 virtual numbers for businesses anywhere, ideal for serving the diaspora from abroad.

Why won't my call connect?expand_more

Usually a leftover 0 after +213, or +213 mistyped as the LA 213.
