Frequently asked questions
Which country has the +260 country code?
+260 is the calling code of Zambia; no other country uses it.
Is +260 a country code or an area code?
+260 is a country code: it is dialed first to reach Zambia from another country. Area codes come after the country code and only pick a region inside the country. Don't confuse it with US area code 260 (Fort Wayne (IN)): US area codes come after +1, so a number that starts with +260 is an international call, not a US number.
Is 00260 the same as +260?
Yes. +260, 00260 and 00 260 are the same code for Zambia: 00 is the exit code dialed from a landline in most countries, and + replaces it on a mobile. From the US and Canada the exit code is 011, so it becomes 011 260.
How do I call Zambia from abroad?
