Ethiopia Calling Code FAQ
- What is the calling code for Ethiopia?
- +251. From abroad, dial your exit code (or +), then 251, then the national number. If an Ethiopia number is written domestically with a leading 0, drop that 0 after +251.
- Is it +251 or 251?
- Same code. +251 is the portable form for contacts and mobiles. 251 is what follows an exit code, for example 011 251… from the US.
- Do I drop the leading 0?
- Yes, if the number is written domestically with a leading 0: 0XX… → +251 XX… (drop the 0 after +251).
- How do I call Ethiopia from the US or UK?
- From the US, dial 011 251 XX… (the number without its leading 0). From the UK and most of Europe, dial 00 251 XX… in the same way. On a mobile, you can use +251 XX… instead.
