The Office Malagasy d’Etudes et de Régulation des Télécommunications (OMERT), Antananarivo, announces the
numbering plan of Madagascar:
• International numbering format: +261 AB Z PQMCDU

Each operator is identified by two digits described by the characters AB:

• Z – area code valid for Telecom Malagasy (fixed-service operator)
Madagascar is divided into six zones:

At national level, a closed numbering system of seven digits is used. That is, all subscriber numbers requested to the
same operator Telecom Malagasy (local and national) can be obtained by dialling seven digits (ZPQMCDU).

Digit “0” is reserved for calling a subscriber of another operator. For local and national communications, it is followed
by the operator's code (AB) plus the area code (Z) and the subscriber number (PQMCDU).
• International prefix
Prefix “00” is used to access international networks.
