Mozambique numbering plan & how to dial
Mozambique uses an open numbering plan under country code +258. After the country code, a 2-digit area or mobile prefix is followed by a 7-digit subscriber number, giving a 9-digit national number. Domestic numbers are often written with a leading trunk "0" that is omitted when dialing Mozambique from abroad.
Mozambique has 21% internet penetration and is served by 3 major mobile networks (Mcel, Vodacom Mozambique, Movitel). VoIP is permitted and regulated by Instituto Nacional das Comunicações de Moçambique (INCM). The local currency is Mozambican Metical and the primary language is Portuguese, which shape IVR prompts, SMS content, and business-hours handling.
Across African markets, mobile-first numbering dominates and Tier-1 interconnects are the key to consistent call delivery and CLI presentation.
Skipping the exit code
From the US you must dial 011 before the +258 country code to reach Mozambique.
Keeping the national trunk "0"
If a Mozambique number is written with a leading 0 for domestic use, omit that 0 after the +258 country code when calling from abroad.
Ignoring the time difference
Mozambique runs on UTC+2. Check local hours before dialing so calls don't land outside business time.
