How numbers in Senegal are built
A number in Senegal is the country code +221 followed by a national number of 9 digits. The trunk prefix, where there is one, is dropped after the code.
Written locally as 70 123 45 67, an example mobile number in Senegal is dialed as +221 70 123 45 67 from abroad.
There's no leading digit to leave out: dial the full local number after the country code.
Why a call to Senegal fails to connect
- Leaving out 00 (or +): without it your carrier reads 221 as the start of a number in France, not as a country code.
- A wrong number of digits: a number in Senegal has 9 digits after +221.
Best time to call
Senegal is 1 h behind France. When it is 12:00 in France, it is 11:00 in Senegal.
That gap moves between 1 h and 2 h during the year, because one of the two countries changes its clocks for daylight saving.
France changes its clocks for daylight saving, so its offset moves between UTC+1 and UTC+2 during the year.
France moves its clocks on March 29 and October 25.
Senegal does not change its clocks for daylight saving, so the offset stays UTC all year.
The weekend in Senegal is Saturday and Sunday.
