Fiji (country code +679)

Communication of 14.IX.2001:
The Ministry of Information and Communication, Suva, announces that the numbering plan of the Fiji
Islands will implement a uniform national seven-digit plan, with effect from 25 March 2002. The international
public telecommunication number structure of the Fiji Islands will have ten (10) digits in all (including the
country code +679).
The need to expand the numbering capacity is influenced by the opening up of the
telecommunication services which will lead to the increase in the use of number resources.
General Feature of the New Numbering Plan:
International Public Number Structure
Country code (CC) and national (significant) number (N(S)N),
where CC is the country code consisting of three (3) digits,
N(S)N is the national (significant) number consisting of seven (7) digits.

New dialling format as from 24 March 2002 at 2400 hours UTC

Due to insufficient exchange capacity, no parallel access service will be available. However, after

315 577) will be routed to a recorded announcement and the call will be discontinued. Only calls to Fiji
Islands using the seven-digit N(S)N (e.g. +679 331 5577) will be completed.
