What is the country code for Angola?
Angola answers to +244. Drop it in right after your exit code and you can reach any line in the country — landline or mobile. National numbers run exactly nine digits, and the very first one tells you the type: a 9 means mobile, a 2 means fixed line. No leading 0 to add, none to remove.
Angola numbers in international E.164 form are written +244 followed by 9 digits (e.g. +244 222 XXX XXX).
Los cuatro significan lo mismo: conectan su llamada a Angola.
How to call Angola from anywhere
Three pieces, that's it: your exit code, then 244, then the nine-digit number exactly as written. Because Angola carries no trunk prefix, there's nothing to peel off the front — what you have is what you dial.

Angola phone number format explained
Every Angolan number is nine digits, and that opening digit does the heavy lifting: 2 fronts a fixed line, 9 fronts a mobile. What Angola doesn't have is a standalone city area code you dial separately — the geography is baked into the fixed-line digits themselves (222 already signals Luanda). Mobiles carry no location at all.
Landline
+244 2XX XXX XXX (9 digits). Example Luanda: +244 222 XXX XXX.
Mobile
+244 9XX XXX XXX (9 digits). Always starts with 9.

Angola mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +244 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.
Unitel
market leader. Prefixes: 92x, 93x, 94x (and 99 on some ranges). Widest national coverage and strongest 4G in Luanda.
Movicel
second-generation operator. Prefix: 91x. Good coverage in provincial capitals.
Africell
launched 2022, fastest-growing challenger with a 5G-ready network. Prefix: 95x.
Angola time zone
Angola sits on West Africa Time (WAT), UTC+1, and stays there all year — no clock changes, no spring-forward to track. One zone covers the country from Cabinda to the Namibian border, which makes scheduling refreshingly predictable.
US callers land squarely in Angola's afternoon between 8 and 11 AM ET. Lisbon shares the hour in summer and sits just behind in winter, so Portuguese partners get a clean overlap across the whole Angolan workday — handy when the conversation is already happening in Portuguese.

Common mistakes when calling Angola
Casi todas las llamadas internacionales fallidas se deben a un problema de formato, no a un problema de red.
Hunting for a trunk prefix to remove
Angola has none. Unlike most of its neighbours, there's no domestic 0 to strip; the nine digits are already complete.
Adding a city "area code" separately
there isn't one. The geography is inside the fixed-line number, so just dial all nine digits.
Trusting the 9X prefix to name the carrier
portability means the original network and the current one may differ.
Usando 011 desde fuera de Norteamérica
only the US and Canada use 011; the rest of the world dials 00.
Sending only eight digits
Angolan numbers are nine; an eight-digit attempt won't connect.
Tips to reduce the cost of calling Angola
Carry +244 traffic over VoIP and sidestep the steep international rates carriers attach to Angola.
Hold an Angolan virtual DID so customers in Luanda dial a local number at local cost.
Terminate inbound calls over SIP instead of paying for PSTN handoff.
Group your calls inside the WAT business day to cut down on missed connects and retries.

Angola +244 — FAQ
Does Angola use a trunk prefix when I call from abroad?expand_more
No — and that's what sets it apart from many neighbours. There's no leading 0 to drop. Dial your exit code, 244, then the nine digits as-is.
How can I tell an Angolan mobile from a landline?expand_more
Look at the first digit after +244: a 9 is mobile, a 2 is fixed line.
Why is there no area code to dial separately?expand_more
Angola builds the city into the fixed-line number itself — 222 already means Luanda — so you never enter a standalone area code, just the full nine digits.
Which operators run Angola's mobile networks?expand_more
Unitel, Movicel and Africell. With portability live, the 9X prefix shows the original network, not always the current one.
What language should I expect on an Angolan business call?expand_more
Portuguese is the official language, so Portuguese-speaking staff or partners are a real advantage when calling in.
Does Angola change its clocks seasonally?expand_more
No. It stays on WAT (UTC+1) all year, with a single zone nationwide.
What are the emergency numbers in Angola?expand_more
Police 113, fire 115, ambulance 112, general emergency 111.
Can my business get an Angolan number without an office there?expand_more
Yes — MCM provisions local +244 DIDs you can route to any team, anywhere.
