Calling Tanzania

How to phone Tanzania from the UK

Tanzania uses the country code +255.

From the United Kingdom you need to dial:

00255
then the full national number minus any leading 0

Example

Tanzania number: 022 2345678
Dialled from the UK as: 00 255 22 2345678

Numbers beginning with +255

Sometimes, the number you want to call may already be written out including the +255 country code. For example:

  • +255 22 2345678
  • +255 (0)22 2345678

In such cases, you just replace the '+' with the UK international access code of 00 and ignore any reference to '(0)'. Both the examples above would be dialled as: 00 255 22 2345678.


How do they call me from Tanzania?

To call a United Kingdom landline or mobile phone from Tanzania, dial 000 44, then the UK number without its leading zero.

For example, the UK number 01632 312829 should be dialled as 000 44 1632 312829 from Tanzania.
