Frequently asked questions
Which country has the +252 country code?
+252 is the calling code of Somalia; no other country uses it.
Is +252 a country code or an area code?
+252 is a country code: it is dialed first to reach Somalia from another country. Area codes come after the country code and only pick a region inside the country. Don't confuse it with US area code 252 (Greenville (NC)): US area codes come after +1, so a number that starts with +252 is an international call, not a US number.
Is 00252 the same as +252?
Yes. +252, 00252 and 00 252 are the same code for Somalia: 00 is the exit code dialed from a landline in most countries, and + replaces it on a mobile. From the US and Canada the exit code is 011, so it becomes 011 252.
How do I call Somalia from abroad?
