Senegal Phone Number validator
How the phone number format works
- Format
- Senegal phone number in national or international (+221) format
- Example
- +221701234567
Things to watch for
- Accepts national or international (E.164, e.g. +221...) format
- Validated with Google's libphonenumber; confirms the number is possible/valid for this country, not that it is currently assigned or reachable
^[+]?[0-9 ()\-]{6,}$A Senegalese mobile number is nine digits, opening with a two-digit prefix from the 70, 75, 76, 77, or 78 ranges and closing with seven more digits — 701 234 567, for example. Senegal doesn’t rely on a trunk 0 the way several of its neighbors do, so the same nine digits carry through into the international form largely unchanged: +221701234567 is just the country code placed in front.
How this validator works
Enter the number as commonly written (701234567) or already in international form (+221701234567); this tool checks the nine-digit length and the mobile prefix against Senegal’s real numbering plan using Google’s libphonenumber, entirely in your browser. Because there’s no trunk 0 to strip here, the validator’s most frequent catch is a stray 0 added out of habit from a neighboring country’s format, which pushes the digit count past nine and fails.
What a pass doesn’t tell you
A pass confirms the digits are shaped like a genuine Senegalese mobile number — it doesn’t confirm the SIM is currently active. A correctly formatted number can still sit dormant in Senegal’s prepaid market.
Scope: use this to catch a wrong prefix or a stray extra digit before a Senegalese number reaches a form or SMS platform — not as proof it’s reachable today.

phone number FAQ
How many digits does a Senegalese mobile number have?
Nine, made up of a two-digit prefix — 70, 75, 76, 77, or 78 — followed by seven more digits, for example 701 234 567. Unlike many neighboring countries, that's the same nine digits used in both the local and +221 international forms.
Do I need to drop a leading 0 before adding +221?
Only if you typed one. Senegalese mobile numbers are commonly written and dialed without a trunk 0, so 701234567 converts straight to +221701234567 — no digit removed, just the country code attached.
Does a valid check confirm the Senegalese SIM is active?
No. It only confirms the nine digits match a real prefix and length under Senegal's numbering plan — it can't tell you whether that SIM is currently topped up or in service.
