The following are the telephone codes in Zimbabwe.
In the same town/city For calls inside the same geographic numbering area (local calls), dial the Subscriber Number only (this includes the Prefixing Number).
To another town/city To make a call from one town or city to another within Zimbabwe, a subscriber should dial the area code (with the preceding zero "0"), followed by the New Added Prefixing Number, and the required subscriber number.
International calls Zimbabwe was allocated its own country code by the International Telecommunication Union, +263, in the late 1960s, when it was known as Rhodesia.White Book, Volume 2, Part 1, International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee, International Telecommunication Union, 1969, page 29
To call a Zimbabwean number from another country: dial: the international access code (i.e. 00 for most European countries, and 011 from North America), followed by the country code (263), followed by the area code, and then the required subscriber number. Example for calling a subscriber in Harare, Zimbabwe, dial: 00 263 24 2xx xxx (x= subscriber number). The zero (0) at the beginning of the area code is dropped when calling with the country code (263). Until the 1990s, calls to Zimbabwe could be made from South Africa using the regional code 0194.Pretoria Telephone Directory, Department of Posts and Telecommunications, 1991, page 21 For international calls from Zimbabwe, dial the international Access Prefix "00" followed by the country code and the National Significant Number for the subscriber. Until 1996, the international access code was 110.Moto, Mambo Press, 1996, page 9
