Telephone numbers in Benin follow an eight-digit telephone numbering plan administered under the country calling code +229. The plan organises numbers by geographic region, with area codes assigned to Benin's various departments. Mobile numbers are allocated to operators including MTN, Moov, and SBIN. Beginning 30 November 2024, all existing telephone numbers in Benin were updated to include the prefix "01" in front of existing numbers.
