Chad's country calling code
The international telephone calling code for Chad is +235. Published lists of country calling codes show this as the code assigned to Chad. It covers the whole country and applies to calls placed into Chad from another country.
The code identifies the country only. It does not identify a city, region or network inside Chad. To reach a specific person or business, you add their Chadian subscriber number after the code. The source used here confirms the country code itself. It does not confirm a date of assignment or any earlier codes, so this guide treats +235 as the current assignment without making claims about its history.
How to dial a number in Chad from abroad
An international call to Chad is made of three parts, in this order:
- 1. Your international access prefix: the digits your own country or carrier uses to start an international call.
- 2. Chad's country code: 235.
- 3. The Chadian subscriber number.
[INTERNATIONAL ACCESS PREFIX] 235 [SUBSCRIBER NUMBER]
+235 [SUBSCRIBER NUMBER]The second line shows the international format. On many mobile phones you can enter the plus sign in place of your country's access prefix, and the network replaces it with the correct digits. If your phone or service does not accept the plus sign, use the access prefix your carrier specifies.
Details to confirm before you dial
No calling origin was given, so this guide cannot give one definitive digit sequence. The following points depend on where you call from or on numbering rules that the supplied source does not cover:
| Item | Why it matters | Status in this guide |
| International access prefix | It differs by origin country and sometimes by carrier | Not specified; ask your carrier or check your country's dialing rules |
| Country code for Chad | It routes the call to Chad | Confirmed: 235 |
| Subscriber number length and format | It decides whether the number you hold is complete | Not verified by the supplied source |
| Domestic trunk prefix | Some countries add a leading digit for domestic calls that must be removed when calling from abroad | Not verified for Chad by the supplied source |
Your contact may have written their number in a local format, with extra leading digits, spaces or punctuation. In that case, confirm with them or their provider how it should appear after +235. Do not add or drop digits based on a guess.
