How much does it cost to call Mauritius?

DialAnyone bills calls to Mauritius by the second from your credit balance, with no monthly minimum and no contract. Rates vary by whether you are calling a landline or a mobile.

Destination	Rate	In credits
Mauritius landline	$0.16/min	33 credits/min
Mauritius mobile	$0.11–$0.19/min	23–38 credits/min

Mauritius has 99 distinct dialling prefixes in our rate table, so the exact per-minute price depends on the specific number you dial.

How are Mauritius phone numbers structured?

Mauritius numbers are eight digits dialed after +230, and the first digit does the sorting: a 5 means you're calling a mobile, anything starting with 2 is a landline. That single-digit split is consistent and reliable. Emtel and My.T (Mauritius Telecom's mobile brand) share the mobile market; My.T landlines similarly begin with 2. The island's relatively high fixed-line penetration compared to mainland Africa means businesses, hotels, and family homes are genuinely reachable on landlines — this isn't a country where giving someone a 2xxx number raises questions. Call centers and large employers tend to give out 2xxx desk numbers precisely because call quality on the copper network remains stable. For personal contacts, the 5 prefix is what you'll use most: mobile is the live contact number for most Mauritians, and it travels with them. A number starting with 3 or 4 may be a data service or an older deprecated prefix — worth double-checking before dialing.

When is the best time to call Mauritius?

Mauritius Time is UTC+4 with no daylight saving adjustment, which puts the island two hours ahead of East Africa and three hours ahead of the Gulf during non-DST periods. For callers from Europe, early afternoon works well — 2 PM in Paris is still the morning in Mauritius. The office day runs roughly 8:30 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday, with Saturday mornings common for businesses serving the public. August and December are school-holiday months when families travel within the island and answer rates on personal mobiles dip. Diwali and Eid bring genuine closures for portions of the business community. Landlines reliably cost less per minute than mobiles, and since Mauritius has solid landline coverage, it's worth asking business contacts for their 2xxx desk number rather than defaulting to mobile for every call. Long-distance calls made mid-week to a landline hit the sweet spot between cost and pickup reliability.

Can a Mauritius Number Receive SMS?

No. DialAnyone does not offer Mauritius numbers at all, so there is no Mauritius number here that could receive SMS. Any site promising you a working Mauritius number for verification codes is not being straight with you.

What to use for verification codes instead

A US or UK number receives SMS verification codes from most services and works from anywhere in the world — you do not need to be in that country. The live availability list shows every country with SMS-capable numbers today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a Mauritius phone number?▼

Not from DialAnyone right now. There is no Mauritius number inventory available to us, so we do not sell Mauritius (+230) numbers. We would rather tell you that than take a signup for something we cannot deliver.

Can I receive SMS on a Mauritius phone number?▼

No. Because we do not offer Mauritius numbers at all, you cannot receive SMS on one through DialAnyone. To receive verification codes, use a US, UK, Canadian or other SMS-capable number — those receive OTP codes from most services.

Can I still call Mauritius with DialAnyone?▼

Yes. Calling Mauritius works from anywhere, from your browser or the mobile app, at per-minute rates with no contract. Not having local number inventory does not affect outbound calling to Mauritius.

Which countries can I get a number in?▼

See our live availability page for the current list, including which countries support SMS and which are voice-only. Availability changes as carrier inventory changes, and that page is refreshed daily.
