Dialing Tanzania in Four Easy Steps
Work through the sequence below to reach any Tanzanian landline or mobile.
Exit Code
Begin with the exit code for where you are.
011 (USA/Canada)
00 (UK/Europe)
(On a mobile, press and hold 0 to enter +)
Tanzania Code (+255)
Dial +255, which sends your call into Tanzania's phone network.
Area Code & Number
Enter the city code or mobile prefix.Remember: leave off the leading zero.
The "Drop the Zero" Rule
Every Tanzanian area code and mobile prefix opens with a '0', such as 022 for Dar es Salaam or 075 for Vodacom. Calling in from another country means that zero has to come off.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the country code for Tanzania?
Tanzania uses the country calling code +255. Enter it after your local exit code (011 from the US, 00 from Europe) and before the area code.
How do I call a mobile number in Tanzania?
Tanzanian mobiles run to 10 digits and open with 06 or 07, for example 0754 or 0655. From abroad you drop that first '0' and dial +255 plus the remaining 9 digit number, such as +255 754 123 456.
What are the area codes for major cities?
Dar es Salaam uses 022, Arusha and Moshi use 027, and Zanzibar uses 024. Take off the '0' for international calls, so Dar es Salaam becomes +255 22 and so on.
Can I call Zanzibar with the same code?
Yes. Zanzibar shares the +255 country code with mainland Tanzania, though it keeps its own landline area code (024) and its own mobile prefixes, including Zantel on 077.
