Kenya

According to ALLCITYCODES.COM, the area code of Kenya is +254. It is typically written as 0xx-xxxxxxx when dialing a Kenyan phone number from within the country. When making an international call to a Kenyan number, one must first dial the international access code (001 in the US), followed by 254 for Kenya’s country calling code, and then followed by the 0xx-xxxxxxx area code without any additional zeros or symbols. For example, to make a call to a landline in Nairobi from outside of Kenya, one would dial 001-254-0xx-xxxxxxx. When dialing from inside of Kenya, no international access codes are required; simply dial all nine digits without any additional zeros or symbols. This includes both landlines and mobile phones. Cell phones in Kenya typically begin with either a 7 or 8 followed by 8 digits; for example 7 xxxx xxxx or 8 xxxx xxxx. In addition to providing access to landlines and mobile phones within Kenya, the +254 area code can also be used for VoIP services such as Vonage and SkypeOut. These services allow users to make calls over the Internet at very low rates compared to traditional landline telephone services. When making calls through VoIP services like SkypeOut, one must first dial 00 followed by 254 and then enter their full 9 digit phone number they wish to reach; for example 001-254-8xxxxxxxx for a call to a mobile phone in Nairobi from outside of Kenya. Area codes are an important part of Kenyan telecommunications infrastructure as they allow people both inside and outside of the country to easily make international calls with ease from their landline or mobile phones. By understanding how this system works – including how different types of numbers should be formatted when making calls – individuals can ensure that their international calls are successful and cost effective each time they use their phones abroad.
