What types of phone number can I get in French Guiana?

Telappliant can supply toll-free numbers in French Guiana. Availability by area code is confirmed when we quote, because individual number ranges can sell out or be reserved by the local regulator.

How many calls can I take at the same time on a French Guiana number?

Concurrency comes from the channels on your VoIP account, not from the number itself. Every account starts with 2 channels, which means 2 simultaneous calls across all your numbers. Extra channels are added at £5 each, so a 10-person support team taking 6 calls at once would need 6 channels. Numbers themselves are unlimited in quantity - you only pay for the concurrency you need.

Can I port my existing French Guiana number to Telappliant?

Number portability isn't available in French Guiana through our carriers, so an existing number can't be transferred. The usual approach is to take a new French Guiana number and forward your old line to it during the changeover.

Can I send and receive SMS on a French Guiana number?

Two-way SMS isn't available on French Guiana numbers through our carriers - these are voice numbers. If you need texting into French Guiana, ask us about messaging routes as a separate service.

Can a French Guiana number be used to call emergency services?

French Guiana numbers don't carry emergency calling, so they must not be relied on as the only phone line at a site. Keep a local line or mobile available for emergency calls.

What do I need to provide to activate a French Guiana number?

Most countries require proof of identity for the account holder and, for local numbers, an address - sometimes one within the number's area. Any rules specific to French Guiana are listed in the service restrictions on this page. Telappliant handles the carrier-side paperwork; we'll ask you only for what the regulator requires.

How to get a number in French Guiana

1
Choose your French Guiana number type and activate
Pick the number type you need - toll-free numbers are shown as available in French Guiana. Telappliant handles the carrier-side paperwork; where the local regulator requires it you'll be asked to supply proof of identity and a valid address, which we submit on your behalf before the number is activated.
2
Port an existing French Guiana number (optional)
Porting is not supported in French Guiana on the current coverage data, so we issue new numbers instead. You can keep your old service running and forward calls to your new French Guiana number during the switch.
3
Set up channels and route your calls
Your VoIP account comes with 2 channels, which means 2 simultaneous calls across all of your numbers. Add extra channels at £5 each to raise concurrency. Then point the number at your phone system - SIP trunk, softphone or 3CX - and set your outbound caller ID.
