Why get an Eritrea (+291) number

Across Africa, mobile is the primary way people get online, pay and talk to businesses, so a local number is often the first point of contact.

With a +291 number you can serve Eritrea customers, suppliers and partners without opening an office in Asmara, and without asking anyone to pay for an international call.

Because it's a real number on the Eritrea telephone network, it works for normal calls and text messages — including one-time passcodes and verification SMS from apps and websites.

What's included with every Eritrea number

Unlimited inbound texts to your Eritrea number
500 outbound SMS per month included
1,000 outbound calling minutes per month included
Inbound calls without limits
Per-number SIP credentials
Call forwarding in one click
Browser-based dialer
7-day replacement guarantee
Auto-renewal — the number stays yours

Works with WhatsApp, Facebook, Google, Telegram and more

Your Eritrea number receives the one-time codes and verification calls sent by WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business, Telegram, Signal, Instagram, Facebook, Google, Gmail and thousands of other services, so you can register or recover an Eritrea account from anywhere.

And you're covered: if an app you need doesn't accept your number, our 7-day replacement guarantee swaps it for a new number free — or you get a full refund if it hasn't been used.

Looking for an Eritrea virtual number?

Most people searching for an Eritrea virtual number want a +291 number they can use online, without a SIM card or a trip to Eritrea. ZuteSIP gives you exactly that — but on a real number from the Eritrea numbering plan, not an app-only line or a shared list.

You use it in your dashboard, in any SIP app or forwarded to your own phone, and it receives standard SMS and voice calls — which is why WhatsApp, Telegram, Google and Facebook verification codes arrive like on any mobile line. Read more: virtual number vs real mobile number.
