South Africa area dialing codesThe international dialing code for South Africa is 27. South Africa's area codes ALL begin with zero (0) and are usually 3 digits long followed by a 7-digit number.
There are a few 4-digit prefixes followed by a 6-digit number including 0800 (toll-free), 0860 (local call charge) and 0861 (flat-rate charge). When phoning from overseas drop the initial zero (0) from the area code. Telephone numbers within the same town or city require the area code.
For telephone directory inquiries and assistance in South Africa call 1023 or 10903 (international numbers).
These calls are charged.
