TKOS provisions +222 DIDs and termination through direct carrier interconnects.
Whether you're reaching Mauritania for business or family, three habits keep every conversation crystal clear and a clean route from TKOS handles the rest.

Built on top of every Mauritania (+222) route quality, price, and people you can reach.

When selecting an international calling service for Mauritania, four factors separate the durable providers from the noise. Look for a proven track record on each.
Zone 2 routes are fragmented — confirm direct in-country termination to Nouakchott, not regional hub routing.
African routes degrade on cable outages — require redundant paths and a published failover RTO for Mauritania.
Confirm coverage for Africa/Nouakchott hours — a Nouakchott route issue at 09:00 needs a human response, not a next-day ticket.
Zone 2 landline and mobile rates can differ 5× — demand separate +222 landline and mobile rate sheets.
