How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Namibia

Namibia’s country calling code is +264. Inside Namibia, numbers are commonly written with a leading 0 (the national trunk prefix) before the area/mobile prefix—e.g., 061… for Windhoek landlines or 081… for many mobile numbers. When calling Namibia from abroad, you dial +264 and then the number without the leading 0. So 061 XXX XXX → +264 61 XXX XXX for a Windhoek landline, and 081 XXX XXXX → +264 81 XXX XXXX for a mobile. Namibia’s international access code for dialing out of the country is 00.

Landlines use geographic area codes (for example 61 for Windhoek and 64 for the coastal towns), while mobiles use mobile service prefixes such as 81 (MTC) and 85 (TN Mobile). Mobile prefixes are useful for understanding what kind of number you’re calling, but for everyday dialing and saving contacts, the most reliable approach is to store all Namibian numbers in international format as +264 … so they work when you travel, roam, or use calling apps.

What are the city and area codes in Namibia

Dialing tip: If a Namibian landline is written with a leading 0 (like 061 or 064), that 0 is domestic-only. From outside Namibia, remove it and dial +264 instead (e.g., 061 → +264 61).

Which mobile prefixes do mobile operators use in Namibia

Dialing tip: Prefixes like 81 (MTC) and 85 (TN Mobile) are a helpful operator hint, but Namibia has a number portability regulatory framework, so the “current network” may not always match the original prefix in every case.

Mobile Operator	Dialing Prefixes
MTC Namibia	081 (international: +264 81 XXX XXXX)
TN Mobile (Telecom Namibia)	085 (international: +264 85 XXX XXXX)
Paratus Telecommunications	083 (often used for IP voice / mobile-style ranges: +264 83 XXX XXXX)
MTN Namibia	084 (often referenced for MTN ranges/services: +264 84 XXX XXXX)
Telecom Switch (service prefix)	060 (+264 60 XXX XXXX)
