The International Dialing Code for Gambia is +220.
There are GSM mobile telephone networks, but not all countries have roaming agreements. US mobile phones will not work. Coverage is limited to Banjul and a few other areas.
For internet, the best solution is to buy a Sim Card or a Stick. The telephone company QCell is stationed in every big village and most of the time the internet will be fast enough for Skype. In the coastal area, it works very well.
Internet cafes are available in Banjul and the major tourist resorts.

Information on The Trans-Gambia Bridge and the nearby power line.
The bridge is officially 17 meters (55 feet), but it is reported possible to sail under the bridge with a 20 meter mast at low tide at spring tide.
I myself have seen a 19 meter high sailboat pass at low tide on December 6, 2021 when the tide coefficient was around 85. I estimate that there was a 25 – 50 cm margin between the mast and the bridge.
The power line five nautical miles east of the bridge is no problem to sail under. Follow the southern shore and there will be plenty of air between the mast and the powerline at any waterlevel.
Hello. Anyyne as informations about Covid procedures regarding Gambia formalities entrance?
Many thanks
