What is the Zimbabwe country code?

Everything you need to dial a Zimbabwe number correctly from a UK phone.

+263

The Zimbabwe country code is +263. Dialling from the UK? Use 00263 instead of the + — they do exactly the same thing.

How to dial a Zimbabwe number from the UK

Dial 00263 + area code + local number for landlines, dropping any leading zero. For mobiles starting with 07, dial 00263 7 + the remaining digits.

Example: Harare landline: 00263 4 + 6 or 7-digit number. Mobile: 00263 77 + remaining digits.

00 or +? Either works

Typing +263 (hold the 0 key on most phone keypads to get a +) is the international standard and works automatically wherever you're calling from. 00263 is the UK's own way of dialling out internationally — both reach exactly the same number.

Yes — WhatsApp, FaceTime and similar apps call over data instead of the phone network, so there's no country code to dial at all. They're free if the person you're calling also has internet, but aren't a substitute for reaching a landline or someone without a smartphone.
