ARCEP Numbering Plan Update — French Territories
ARCEP Numbering Plan Update — French Territories
This week we completed a fresh comparison of ARCEP's numbering update against the existing e164.com reference data for French territories. The analysis covers Metropolitan France and all overseas departments and collectivities.
Overall, ARCEP's current allocations show a net reduction of 53 prefixes compared to the e164.com baseline — 191 new allocations against 244 removals — suggesting ongoing consolidation of the French numbering plan.
The most significant movement is in Metropolitan France mobile numbering, where 184 mobile prefixes have been withdrawn against 82 new allocations, a net reduction of 102 mobile prefixes. This likely reflects operator consolidation and the reclamation of unused mobile blocks.
On the growth side, M2M allocations have expanded across the overseas territories. Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Mayotte, and Reunion each received new M2M prefix blocks, consistent with ARCEP's push to support IoT connectivity in the DOM-TOM/DROM-COM (France's overseas territories).
Guadeloupe saw the largest overseas expansion with 19 new prefixes across M2M and VOIP.
New VOIP allocations also appeared in both Metropolitan France and Guadeloupe (13 prefixes each), reflecting continued growth in IP-based voice services.
Overall we saw:
1. Net reduction of 53 prefixes — ARCEP removed more prefixes than they added.
2. France Metropolitan dominates the churn — the biggest movement is in MOBILE (82 added vs 184 removed = net -102 mobile prefixes).
3. M2M prefixes added across overseas territories — GLP (+6), GUF, MTQ, MYT, REU (+3 each). These are likely new IoT/M2M allocations from ARCEP.
4. VOIP additions — 13 new VOIP prefixes each in FRA and GLP.
These are the additions we saw this week:
- Country — GEO — IPRS — M2M — MOBILE — VOIP — TOTAL
- FRA - France — 56 — 1 — 3 — 82 — 13 — 155
- GLP - Guadeloupe — -- — -- — 6 — -- — 13 — 19
