Gabon numbering changes – November 15, 2019
On November 15, 2019 Gabon did finally implement an important numbering plan update. The main two changes are:
- an extra digit was added between the initial zero and the second digit of old telephone numbers
- the initial zero is no longer dialed when calling Gabon telephone numbers from abroad
The main changes
- fixed (landline) phone numbers before November 15, 2019: 01 xx xx xx become 011 xx xx xx after this date
- mobile phone numbers changes:
- 02 xx xx xx becomes 062 xx xx xx

Initial zero dropped when dialing Gabon from other countries!
When calling Gabon from abroad you no longer dial the initial zero. For example: before November 15, 2019 a typical call from the US to a Gabon landline would be dialed using: 011 241 01 xx xx xx. Currently, the new dialing sequence is: 011 241 11 xx xx xx. The initial zero is now used only to dial inside the country.
