How many digits does a phone number in Nicaragua have?

What is the country code for Nicaragua?

+505. From abroad, dial your own exit code, then 505, then the national number. From inside Nicaragua, the exit code for international calls is 00.

Which prefixes are mobile numbers in Nicaragua?

Mobile numbers start with 5, 6, 7 or 8 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 8123 4567). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator.

Can a mobile number in Nicaragua be ported to another carrier?

Not on record. The plan data this page is built from does not list mobile number portability for Nicaragua, 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.

The numbering plan of Nicaragua: 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).

Test a pattern

Tick the line types you accept, copy the combined pattern, and paste numbers to see which range each one falls in. Numbers are reduced to their national digits first (no spaces, no +505, no trunk prefix); nothing leaves your browser.
