Somalia Calling Code FAQ
- What is the calling code for Somalia?
- +252. From abroad, dial your exit code (or +), then 252, then the national number. If a Somalia number is written domestically with a leading 0, drop that 0 after +252.
- Is it +252 or 252?
- Same code. +252 is the portable form for contacts and mobiles. 252 is what follows an exit code, for example 011 252… from the US.
- Do I drop the leading 0?
- Yes, if the number is written domestically with a leading 0: 0XX… → +252 XX… (drop the 0 after +252).
- How do I call Somalia from the US or UK?
- From the US, dial 011 252 XX… (the number without its leading 0). From the UK and most of Europe, dial 00 252 XX… in the same way. On a mobile, you can use +252 XX… instead.
