Why choose an Eritrea (+291) number

Mobile is how most of Africa gets online, pays bills and reaches companies, which makes a local number the usual first point of contact.

A +291 number lets you look after Eritrea customers, suppliers and partners without ever renting office space in Asmara, and nobody has to foot the bill for an international call.

Since it's a genuine number on the Eritrea telephone network, ordinary calls and texts go through without issue — including the one-time passcodes and verification SMS that apps and websites send.

You're also protected: should some app refuse to accept your number, our 7-day replacement guarantee gets you a fresh number free of charge — or a full refund if the number was never used.

Searching for an Eritrea virtual number?

When people search for an Eritrea virtual number, what they usually want is a +291 number they can use online — no SIM card, no trip to Eritrea required. That's exactly what SMS Conecta delivers, except it's a genuine number drawn from the Eritrea numbering plan, not an app-only line or some shared pool.

You can run it from your dashboard, through any SIP app, or forwarded to your own phone, and it takes standard SMS and voice calls just the same — which is exactly why WhatsApp, Telegram, Google and Facebook verification codes come through as they would on any mobile line.

How Eritrea phone numbers are formatted

Eritrea's country code is +291. Written in international (E.164) format, an Eritrea number is +291 plus 7 digits — +291 XX15 9XX, for instance.

People calling from inside Eritrea use the national format, while everyone outside dials +291 first. Regardless of how they reach you, the call or SMS lands in your dashboard, on your SIP device, or on whichever phone you've set forwarding to.

Dialing Eritrea and caller ID

Dialing from the United States or Canada: use 011 291 then the 7-digit number. From the UK, Europe, India and most other countries: use 00 291 then the number. On any mobile phone, +291 works no matter where you are.

You can spend your 1,000 monthly outgoing minutes calling Eritrea or anywhere else, with your +291 number showing up as the caller ID the whole time.
