How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Botswana

Botswana’s country calling code is +267. From abroad, dial your exit code → 267 → the national number. Landlines have 7 digits (written as xx xxxxx or xxx xxxx depending on the locality), while mobiles have 8 digits. International calls from inside Botswana use 00. Botswana uses a closed plan with no separate area codes—the first 2–3 digits of a landline indicate the locality.

Mobiles vs landlines: Mobile numbers begin with 7x and are 8 digits (e.g., +267 71 234 567). Landlines show a locality prefix such as 36x/39x (Gaborone) or 24x (Francistown), followed by the subscriber number (e.g., +267 393 1234). Toll-free and other non-geographic services use the 80–89 range (e.g., 0800 for freephone, typically local-reach only).

What are the city and area codes in Botswana

Dialing tip: If you see a local landline written as 36x xxxx or 24x xxxx, just add +267 in front for international format (no trunk “0” to add or drop).
