Gambia9

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.

Gambia9 is brought to you by Ping Money, a UK money-transfer service for
the Gambian community. Gambia9 is an independent public utility — you
don't need a Ping Money account to use it.
