Nigeria at a glance
Цифри та факти, які вам потрібні, перш ніж набрати номер.
What is the country code for Nigeria?
Nigeria's country code is +234, and with hundreds of millions of SIMs in circulation it's one of the most-dialed codes on the continent. From abroad, you place +234 after your own exit code to reach any Nigerian landline or mobile. At home, Nigerians dial a trunk prefix 0 ahead of the area code or mobile prefix instead — and that 0 is dropped the moment the call crosses a border.
Код +234 було призначено Nigeria МСЕ за планом E.164. The “+” означає «наберіть свій місцевий міжнародний код виходу»; на мобільному телефоні натисніть і утримуйте 0 щоб набрати його.
Усі чотири означають те саме — вони з’єднують ваш дзвінок із Nigeria.
How to call Nigeria from anywhere
Reaching a Nigerian number is a three-part build: your exit code first, then 234, then the national number with its leading 0 stripped off.
Повний приклад: +234 1 XXX XXXX — при дзвінках з-за кордону відкидайте місцевий початковий 0.
Nigeria phone number format explained
A Nigerian national number is usually 10 digits once you've taken off the trunk 0, which is why a mobile written locally (0 + 10 digits) runs to 11 digits on the page. Strip that leading 0 for any international call and the rest stays as-is.
Стаціонарний
Area code (1–3 digits) + subscriber number. Example: 0 1 234 5678 (Lagos) → +234 1 234 5678.
мобільний
Trunk 0 + 3-digit prefix (070/080/081/090/091) + 7 digits. Example: 0803 123 4567 → +234 803 123 4567.

Nigeria mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +234 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.
MTN Nigeria
Globacom (Glo)
Airtel Nigeria
9mobile
Nigeria time zone
Nigeria sits on West Africa Time (WAT), UTC+1, all year with no daylight saving — one clock from Lagos to Maiduguri. That fixed offset makes it easy for the diaspora to plan: WAT stays put even when London and New York shift their clocks twice a year.
Midday to late afternoon in Lagos (roughly 12:00–17:00 WAT) catches Europe through its afternoon and the US East Coast through its morning — the easiest slot for diaspora calls home.

Майже кожен невдалий міжнародний дзвінок є проблемою форматування, а не проблемою мережі.
Leaving the 0 in place: +234 0803… is wrong
the trunk 0 drops the instant you add +234. This is the single most common slip on diaspora calls.
Trusting a prefix to name the network: since portability went live in 2013, an 0803 line is no longer guaranteed to be on its original carrier

Mixing up Lagos's short area code 1 with a mobile prefix
landline numbers behind a city code are shorter than mobiles.
Stacking 011 or 00 after a +: the + already stands in for your exit code, so don't add both

Dropping the area code on a Lagos or Abuja landline
from abroad you still need the 1 or 9 after +234.

Nigeria +234 — FAQ
I'm in the diaspora — what's the easiest way to call home to Nigeria?expand_more
From any mobile, dial +234, then the Nigerian number without its leading 0 (e.g. +234 803 123 4567). The + works the same whether you're in the US, the UK or the Gulf.
Why does my +234 0803 number fail to connect?expand_more
Because the trunk 0 must be dropped after +234 — dial +234 803…, not +234 0803…. It's the most common diaspora dialing error.
Can I tell which network a Nigerian mobile uses from its prefix?expand_more
No. Mobile number portability has been live since 2013, so subscribers keep their number across MTN, Glo, Airtel and 9mobile.
Which prefixes belong to which carrier originally?expand_more
MTN, Glo, Airtel and 9mobile each hold spreads across the 070/080/081/090/091 ranges — see the prefix list above — but portability means the prefix is only a hint.
How do I reach a Lagos or Abuja landline from abroad?expand_more
Keep the area code after +234: Lagos is +234 1…, Abuja is +234 9…, followed by the subscriber number.
Does Nigeria change its clocks for daylight saving?expand_more
No. The whole country stays on WAT (UTC+1) all year, so the time gap to you only shifts when your own region changes clocks.
What's the right emergency number in Nigeria?expand_more
112 works nationwide for all services; 199 reaches the fire service, and Lagos also runs 767.
Can a business outside Nigeria get a real +234 number?expand_more
Yes — MCM provisions local Nigerian DIDs (Lagos, Abuja or national) and routes the calls to your team wherever it is.
