The "Autorité de Régulation des Télécommunications/TIC de Côte d’Ivoire" (ARTCI) hereby announced the modification of the national numbering plan of Côte d’Ivoire, from eight (8) to ten (10) digits, effective 31 January 2021 in Côte d’Ivoire. The change to ten (10) figures is being made in order to cope with the saturation of mobile service number resources on the one hand and ensure the availability of numbers on the other, thereby meeting the ever increasing demands of mobile telephone operators and future services, such as the Internet of Things. Under the new ten-digit numbering plan, numbers will be structured as follows: XZABPQMCDU. The theoretical maximum capacity of the ten-digit numbering plan is ten (10) billion numbers for all telecommunication services. The minimum number length is 3 digits and the maximum number length is 10 digits.
