What is the dialing code from Nigeria to the UK?

Answer 1

The United Kingdom uses telephone country code +44, and also you must drop the trunk prefix '0' from the beginning of the UK domestic telephone number. The international access prefix for calls from Nigeria is 009, so, to call London, for example, you would dial 009 44 20 7946 0123:

• 009 = international access prefix from Nigeria
• +44 = country code for UK
• 20 = London's area code 020, minus the trunk prefix 0
• 7946 0123 = (fictional) local 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, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

Answer 2

The format for an American phone number is a 1, followed by a three digit area code that varies based on where that person lives, and then their 7 digit phone number.
