Calling Congo

How to phone Congo from the UK

Congo uses the country code +242.

From the United Kingdom you need to dial:

00242
then the full national number

Example

Congo number: 2345 23456
Dialled from the UK as: 00 242 2345 23456

Numbers beginning with +242

Sometimes, the number you want to call may already be written out including the +242 country code. For example:

  • +242 2345 23456

In such a case, you just replace the '+' with the UK international access code of 00. The example above would be dialled as: 00 242 2345 23456.
