Call Zimbabwe

Calling a Zimbabwean number from another country is easy. Here is how to dial Zimbabwe. Just dial the international access code (i.e., 00 (or +) for most EU countries & Africa (i.e. South Africa), & 011 from North America), followed by the Zimbabwean country code (263), then followed by the area code, & finally the needed subscriber number.

For instance, for calling an individual in Harare, Zimbabwe; simply dial 00 263 24 2cc ccc (c= individual/subscriber number). Take note that the 0 at the beginning of the area code is dropped when calling with the country code (263).
