How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Angola

Angola’s country calling code is +244. From abroad, dial your exit code → 244 → the area code or mobile prefix (omit any local trunk 0) → the subscriber number. Inside Angola, intercity calls use the trunk prefix 0, and international calls use 00. Angola’s national numbers are 9 digits long. Typical formats: landline +244 {area} XXX XXXX / +244 {area} XXX XXX (area code length varies), mobile +244 9XX XXX XXX.

Mobiles vs landlines: Landlines use geographic 2XX/2X area codes by city (e.g., 22 for Luanda, 272 for Benguela, 241 for Huambo). Mobile numbers are non-geographic and begin with 9x prefixes tied to operators: Unitel (92/93/94), Movicel (91/99), and Africell (95). When dialing from outside Angola, drop the 0 and use +244; within Angola, dial 0 + area code (for landlines) or 0 + mobile prefix.
