Official launch of the 035 prefix. Airtel Madagascar is introducing a new prefix this June. Its subscriber base continues to grow, surpassing 5 million active users. "The introduction of the 035 prefix marks a structural milestone in our development. It reflects Airtel Madagascar's sustained growth and our commitment to sustainably meet the connectivity and financial inclusion needs of Malagasy people. We are opening a new chapter today, with a more accessible network for everyone," says Anne Catherine Tchokonté, General Director of Airtel Madagascar. The first numbers beginning with 035 have been available since June 22, 2026 across Airtel Madagascar's entire distribution network. With numbers starting with 035, subscribers have access to all Airtel offerings, namely: calls, internet, digital services and Airtel Money. Financial operations such as transfers, payments, deposits and withdrawals, as well as interconnection with banks, digital platforms and authentication systems, remain fully operational. This telecommunications operator reassures its customers that the introduction of the 035 prefix will have no impact for customers who already have a 033 number. These numbers remain fully valid, with no action required. "All continue to benefit from the same services, with a smooth and continuous experience," the operator clarifies. Miangaly Ralitera
