Kenya Calling Code FAQ
- What is the calling code for Kenya?
- +254. From abroad, dial your exit code (or +), then 254, then the national number. If a Kenya number is written domestically with a leading 0, drop that 0 after +254.
- Is it +254 or 254?
- Same code. +254 is the portable form for contacts and mobiles. 254 is what follows an exit code, for example 011 254… from the US.
- Do I drop the leading 0?
- Yes, if the number is written domestically with a leading 0: 0XX… → +254 XX… (drop the 0 after +254).
- How do I call Kenya from the US or UK?
- From the US, dial 011 254 XX… (the number without its leading 0). From the UK and most of Europe, dial 00 254 XX… in the same way. On a mobile, you can use +254 XX… instead.
