The numbering plan of the Falkland Islands: formats, lengths, the regular expression for each line type and the prefix blocks allocated to each carrier, as ITU publishes it. A pattern says what a number looks like and where it was allocated; whether it is in service, and who serves it today, is a different question (below).

Questions developers ask
- How many digits does a phone number in the Falkland Islands have?
- Mobile numbers have 5 national digits. Fixed line numbers have 5 national digits. That is the national number, without the country code +500.
- What is the country code for the Falkland Islands?
- +500. From abroad, dial your own exit code, then 500, then the national number. From inside the Falkland Islands, the exit code for international calls is 00.
- Which prefixes are mobile numbers in the Falkland Islands?
- Mobile numbers start with 5 or 6 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 51234). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator.
- Can a mobile number in the Falkland Islands be ported to another carrier?
- Not on record. The plan data this page is built from does not list mobile number portability for the Falkland Islands, so the carrier a prefix was allocated to is likely, not certainly, the carrier serving the number. Only a live carrier lookup (an HLR or MNP query) confirms it.
