How to call Eritrea

Sometimes, having a friend, a family member, or a business partner in a faraway country can be challenging. You might not be able to talk to them as frequently as you’d like. Nonetheless, if you're outside this country, get in contact with any person residing in Eritrea by making a phone call. Make sure to know your country’s exit code, plus the Eritrean country code (291), the area code (1 or 7), & the 6-digit subscriber phone number (the number you want to call).

Here is how to dial Eritrea. First, dial the exit code. This code informs the phone company that you’re calling from outside of Eritrea, & they’ll then be capable of connecting you to the telephone services in Eritrea. Consider that the exit codes vary depending on the country that you are calling from.

If calling various countries across the globe, including South Africa, the UK, Kenya, etc., the exit code is 00. For Canada & the United States, the exit code is 011.

Secondly, dial Eritrea country code (291) which lets the phone company know that you’re placing a call to Eritrea. Then dial 7 if you’re calling a mobile phone or 1 for a landline. Finally, dial the 6-digit subscriber number. For instance, to call the Eritrea landline from South Africa, the calling number format is 00 + 291 + 7 NNN NNN. The number 00 is the Exit code for South Africa. The 291 is the ISD code or country code of Eritrea. The 7 is the area code in this country & “N=subscriber number” - the 7 digits TEL number of the recipient.

If you’re placing a call from the US to a mobile phone in Eritrea, you will dial 011 291 7 NNN NNN.
