Gambia9

Gambia's phone numbers change on 4 September 2026. Update every saved contact to the new 9-digit format in seconds — private, on your phone, with full undo.

The Gambia is moving from 7-digit to 9-digit phone numbers on 4 September 2026. After the change, calls and messages to numbers saved in the old format will stop connecting. Gambia9 updates your saved contacts to the new format, so you don't have to edit them one by one.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Scan. Gambia9 checks your contacts on your phone and finds every Gambian number that needs the new format. Foreign numbers and numbers it isn't sure about are left alone.
2. Preview. You see every proposed change before anything happens — old number and new number side by side. Untick any contact you want to keep as it is.
3. Update. Only the numbers you approved are changed. Nothing else in the contact is touched.
4. Undo. Every change is saved on your phone first, so you can put everything back — even days later. Gambia9 will never overwrite a number you've edited since.

CHANGED YOUR NUMBERS TOO EARLY?

If you already converted contacts before the switch-over and people's names stopped showing in your messages, Gambia9 can work out the old numbers and put them back until 4 September.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your contacts never leave your phone. Names and numbers are checked and changed on the device only — they are never uploaded to us or anyone else. There are no ads and no tracking. The conversions follow the official numbering rules published by PURA, The Gambia's telecoms regulator.
