How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Ghana

Ghana uses country code +233 with trunk prefix 0 and international prefix 00.

From abroad → Ghana landlines: exit code → 233 → area code (drop the 0) → number. Example: +233 30 2 xxxxxx (Accra), +233 32 20 xxxxx (Kumasi).

From abroad → Ghana mobiles: exit code → 233 → mobile prefix (drop the 0) → number, e.g., +233 24… / +233 50… / +233 26….

Inside Ghana: dial the printed 10-digit national number (it begins with 0): e.g., landline 030 2…, mobile 024…. International calls from Ghana start with 00.
