🇳🇬Nigeria Country Code +234

The country calling code for Nigeria is +234. Put it in front of the number when you call Nigeria from another country, and leave out the 0 that starts numbers inside Nigeria.

Dial your country's international access code (or press + on a mobile phone), then 234, then the number without its leading 0. For example, 0802 123 4567 inside Nigeria is dialled as +234 802 123 4567 from abroad.

Only when you call from inside Nigeria. The 0 is the trunk prefix, used for calls within the country. From abroad you leave it out: 0802 123 4567 becomes +234 802 123 4567.

Most phone numbers in Nigeria have 10 digits after the country code. Some special-service numbers (toll-free, premium-rate) are shorter or longer.

To call another country from Nigeria, dial 009, then the country code you are calling, then the number. On a mobile phone you can press + instead of 009.
