Eritrea Calling Code FAQ
- What is the calling code for Eritrea?
- +291. From abroad, dial your exit code (or +), then 291, then the national number. If an Eritrea number is written domestically with a leading 0, drop that 0 after +291.
- Is it +291 or 291?
- Same code. +291 is the portable form for contacts and mobiles. 291 is what follows an exit code, for example 011 291… from the US.
- Do I drop the leading 0?
- Yes, if the number is written domestically with a leading 0: 0XX… → +291 XX… (drop the 0 after +291).
- How do I call Eritrea from the US or UK?
- From the US, dial 011 291 XX… (the number without its leading 0). From the UK and most of Europe, dial 00 291 XX… in the same way. On a mobile, you can use +291 XX… instead.
