Dialing code for South Africa from England?

Answer 1

First dial your access code... 00

then the country code for the UK. 44

then the mobile number 7xxx xxxxxx

If the number is shown as 07xxx xxxxxx then omit the initial zero.

If the number is shown as +44 7xxx xxxxxx then you just need to dial 00 in place of the '+' and then all of the other digits.

Answer 2

South Africa is telephone country code +27. Note also that you must drop the trunk prefix 0 from the South African domestic telephone number. For example, Cape Town's area code 021 becomes +27 21.

If you are calling on a mobile phone, just enter the number in international format, including the plus symbol. Otherwise, dial 8, wait for a secondary dial tone (if you are on an older telephone exchange), then dial 10, and then dial the country code, city code, and subscriber number.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, Russia uses 8~10, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

00 - to get an international line

Answer 4
