This code was introduced on 1 July 1998 when Eritrea switched from its old international dialling code of +800 to +291 for all incoming calls from abroad. This change was made so that all incoming calls would be routed through international carriers instead of neighbouring countries. This has helped increase security as well as improve call quality for customers calling into Eritrea from abroad. Check philosophynearby for Eritrea in 2019.
