Réunion SMS numbers: +262 is shared with Mayotte

The +262 country code alone is not the whole region

Arcep's 2025 amendment, effective in 2026, groups Réunion and Mayotte under +262 while distinguishing Réunion's national mobile roots 0692 and 0693 from Mayotte's 0639 series. A French domestic dialling format and an international app field are not identical. If the app already selects +262, do not blindly paste a domestic trunk 0. Follow the exact order number and the sender's field example instead of constructing a number from a prefix table.

The app may list Réunion and Mayotte separately. Select the territory you actually need; their shared country code does not make local eligibility or sender policy transferable.

Match both the territory and the app product

Telegram and Facebook are distinct SMS4U receiving products in Réunion. Identify the sender first, then inspect live Smart, Select, Flex or Global choices. The USD catalog amount is indicative, whereas confirmation gives the actual CNY debit and order time. Neither a static quote nor a regulatory range promises a specific available number or successful delivery.

Check region and delivery method when verification fails

If the app rejects entry, review whether Mayotte was chosen by mistake, whether 0 or +262 was doubled and whether the sender accepts the number type. If there is no stock, choose from current pools. If an order exists and no SMS arrives, compare the app's sending status with the order timer and inbox. A short text order cannot maintain long-term control of a Réunion number or provide voice or local identity credentials.
