What is Fiji’s country code?

The country code for Fiji is +679. International telephone networks use this code to direct a call to a Fijian landline or mobile number.

Therefore, a number displayed locally as 331 2345 becomes +679 331 2345 when you call from overseas. The plus sign tells your phone to use the correct international access code for the country where you are making the call.

Fiji’s country code applies across the country, including Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni, the Mamanuca Islands, the Yasawa Islands and Rotuma.

How to call Fiji from overseas

Use the following format when calling a Fijian telephone number from another country:

International exit code + 679 + seven-digit Fiji number

1. Enter the plus sign on a mobile phone or dial your country’s international exit code.
2. Enter Fiji’s country code, 679.
3. Dial the complete seven-digit Fijian telephone number.
4. Check the number and press the call button.

For example, to call the Suva number 331 2345 from a mobile phone overseas, dial +679 331 2345.

Do not add a zero

Fiji does not use a national trunk prefix before standard telephone numbers. Consequently, you do not need to remove or add a leading zero when using +679.

Examples of calling Fiji

Calling Fiji from the United Kingdom

From a UK mobile, dial +679 followed by the seven-digit Fijian number. Alternatively, from a landline, dial 00 679 followed by the number.

Example: +679 331 2345

Calling Fiji from Australia

From an Australian mobile, use +679 followed by the complete Fijian number. Meanwhile, some landline services accept the Australian international access code before 679.

Example: +679 670 1234

Calling Fiji from New Zealand

Enter +679 and then the seven-digit telephone number. Using the plus sign usually provides the simplest option on a mobile phone.

Example: +679 881 2345

Calling Fiji from the United States or Canada

Dial 011 679 and the seven-digit Fijian number from a landline. However, mobile users can normally replace 011 with the plus sign.

Example: +679 672 3456

How Fiji phone numbers work

Fiji uses a uniform seven-digit national numbering plan. As a result, you dial all seven digits whether you call from within Fiji or from overseas after adding +679.

The opening digit or digits can indicate a geographic network area, mobile service or another type of telephone service. However, they form part of the full telephone number rather than a separate area code that callers add independently.

For example, numbers beginning with 3 often serve the Suva and central or eastern regions, while many numbers beginning with 6 or 7 serve western areas of Viti Levu. Number allocations can change, so always use the complete number supplied by the person, hotel, tour company or business.

Fiji location and number prefixes

The following table provides a practical guide to prefixes traditionally associated with major destinations. Nevertheless, it should not replace the complete telephone number provided by your contact.

Mobile numbers also use seven digits and may begin with prefixes allocated to individual network operators. Therefore, you should not assume that every number’s first digit identifies the caller’s current location.

How to call another country from Fiji

To make an international call from Fiji, use the plus sign or the international access method supported by your network, followed by the destination country code and telephone number.

The easiest mobile format is:

+ country code + national telephone number

For instance, to call a UK number, enter +44, remove the first zero from the UK area or mobile code and dial the remaining digits. To call Australia, use +61 and remove the leading zero from the Australian number.

Rules vary between countries. Therefore, check the destination’s entry in our international dialling codes guide before placing the call.

Using a mobile phone in Fiji

International roaming may allow your existing SIM card to connect to a Fijian network. However, calls, messages and mobile data can cost substantially more than they do at home.

Before departure, check whether your mobile provider includes Fiji in a roaming bundle. In addition, confirm the daily charge, data allowance, call rates and fair-use restrictions.

A local SIM can provide better value for longer visits, while a travel eSIM may offer a convenient data connection without replacing your physical SIM. An eSIM often covers internet access rather than ordinary voice calls, although you can use data-based services such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, Signal or Messenger.

Read our guide to using your mobile phone abroad before travelling so you can compare roaming, local SIM and eSIM options.

How to reduce international calling costs

International telephone rates depend on your provider, contract and the country where you place the call. Therefore, check the cost per minute before making a long call to Fiji.

• Use a Wi-Fi or mobile-data calling app when both parties have a reliable internet connection.
• Compare your provider’s international calling add-ons with its standard rate.
• Ask hotels and accommodation providers whether they charge for outgoing calls.
• Use a local SIM for frequent calls within Fiji.
• Turn off data roaming if your plan does not include Fiji.
• Save important numbers in international format with +679.

Nevertheless, internet calls can fail when a resort or remote island has weak connectivity. Keep an ordinary telephone number for your accommodation, airline, insurer and emergency contacts as a backup.

Fiji time zone and the best time to call

Fiji follows Fiji Time, which is UTC+12. The country currently keeps the same standard time throughout the year and does not change its clocks for daylight saving time.

However, the time difference between Fiji and your location may change when your home country starts or ends daylight saving time. For example, Fiji is usually 11 hours ahead of the United Kingdom during British Summer Time and 12 hours ahead when the UK follows Greenwich Mean Time.

Consequently, check the current local time in Fiji before calling a private number. Businesses, tour operators and government offices may only answer during normal local working hours.

Emergency telephone numbers in Fiji

Save the relevant emergency numbers before travelling. In addition, ask your hotel or resort for the nearest medical centre and police station, particularly when visiting a remote island.

Telephone coverage and response times can vary outside the main towns. Therefore, contact your accommodation or local tour operator for immediate local assistance where appropriate.

Common mistakes when calling Fiji

Adding an unnecessary zero

Do not insert a zero between +679 and the Fijian number. Unlike telephone systems in several other countries, Fiji does not use a leading domestic trunk zero for standard calls.

Dialling only six digits

Standard Fijian telephone numbers use seven digits. Therefore, check that you have copied the full number.

Entering both + and an exit code

Use either the plus sign or a numerical international exit code, not both. For example, enter +679 rather than 00 +679.

Confusing 679 with the complete number

The digits 679 only identify Fiji. You must also enter the full seven-digit subscriber number.

Ignoring call charges and local time

International rates can be high, and Fiji may be many hours ahead of your location. As a result, check both the price and local time before you call.
