Calling Benin

How to phone Benin from the UK

Benin uses the country code +229.

From the United Kingdom you need to dial:

00229
then the full national number

Example

Benin number: 12345678
Dialled from the UK as: 00 229 12345678

Numbers beginning with +229

Sometimes, the number you want to call may already be written out including the +229 country code. For example:

  • +229 12345678

In such a case, you just replace the '+' with the UK international access code of 00. The example above would be dialled as: 00 229 12345678.
