02 — THE BASICS

What is the +258 country code?

Mozambique was assigned +258 by the ITU — placing it in zone 2 with the rest of Africa. Mobiles all begin with 8 and are dialed +258 8X XXX XXXX, while landlines use geographic area codes with no national trunk 0.

ITU zone 2 Africa

Mozambique uses the +258 country code, placing it in ITU zone 2 alongside South Africa +27, Tanzania +255, Zambia +260, Malawi +265 + Zimbabwe +263. The +258 prefix is unique to Mozambique among its East-African neighbours.

INCM / ARECOM-regulated

Mozambique's telecom industry is regulated by INCM / ARECOM (the national communications regulator). Three mobile carriers: Vodacom Mozambique, Movitel (Viettel-backed, strong rural reach) + Tmcel (the merged state operator). All Mozambican mobiles begin with 8.

No trunk 0 — dial area code direct

Mozambique has geographic area codes for landlines but <b>no national trunk-0 prefix</b> — you dial the area code directly. Major codes: <b>21</b> Maputo, <b>23</b> Beira, <b>24</b> Quelimane, <b>25</b> Tete, <b>26</b> Nampula. Mobiles are 9 digits all starting with <b>8</b> (82/83/84/85/86/87).

DID YOU KNOW

Mozambique is one of the great Indian Ocean getaways. Its 2,500 km coastline hides the Bazaruto + Quirimbas archipelagos — world-class diving + island lodges. Maputo is famous for its wide avenues + Portuguese-colonial architecture; the Ilha de Moçambique is a UNESCO World Heritage site; and huge offshore natural-gas discoveries off Cabo Delgado are transforming the economy.

03 — QUICK FACTS

A quick read on how it works.

A Mozambican phone number in international format is written as +258 [area code] [local]. Example: +258 21 123 456 for Maputo, +258 23 123 456 for Beira, +258 82 123 4567 for a Vodacom mobile.

Mozambican mobile numbers all start with 8 (82/83/84/85/86/87 → +258 8X XXX XXXX, 9 digits). There is no national trunk-0 to drop — you dial the area code directly. Internationally, dial +258 + area code + number, or +258 8X… for mobiles.

Want to call Mozambique from abroad? Dial your exit code (00 in most countries — including Mozambique — 011 in NANP, 0011 in Australia), then 258, then the area code (or 8X for mobiles) + number. On any mobile, replace the exit code with +. There is no leading 0 to drop.

01

Bank + M-Pesa + e-Mola OTPs

Mozambican banks (BCI, Millennium bim, Standard Bank, Absa) + mobile money (Vodacom M-Pesa, Movitel e-Mola, Tmcel mKesh) require +258 mobile OTPs. A local 8X number is essential to receive verification codes + transact.

02

Indian Ocean coast + tourism

A +258 line connects you to Mozambique's 2,500 km Indian Ocean coastline — the Bazaruto + Quirimbas archipelagos, Tofo, Vilankulo + the UNESCO Ilha de Moçambique. World-class diving, island lodges + beach getaways drive a growing tourism economy.

03

Natural-gas + energy gateway

Huge offshore natural-gas discoveries off Cabo Delgado are transforming the economy — TotalEnergies, ExxonMobil + Eni LNG projects, plus the Cahora Bassa dam + coal at Tete. A +258 number is your line into one of Africa's biggest energy frontiers.

04

Maputo commerce hub

A +258 21 area code says "Maputo" — Mozambique's capital, port + commercial heart, with its wide avenues + Portuguese-colonial architecture. Maputo concentrates banking, government, the port + most corporate headquarters in the country.

05

Lusophone (Portuguese) market

Mozambique is a Portuguese-speaking nation — part of the CPLP Lusophone bloc with Portugal, Brazil, Angola + Cape Verde. A +258 number plugs you into a ~33 million-strong Portuguese-language market across East Africa.

06
