Calling Uganda

How to phone Uganda from the UK

Uganda uses the country code +256.

From the United Kingdom you need to dial:

00256
then the full national number minus any leading 0

Example

Uganda number: 0234 234567
Dialled from the UK as: 00 256 234 234567

Numbers beginning with +256

Sometimes, the number you want to call may already be written out including the +256 country code. For example:

  • +256 234 234567
  • +256 (0)234 234567

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: 00 256 234 234567.


How do they call me from Uganda?

To call a United Kingdom landline or mobile phone from Uganda, 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 Uganda.
