What the code covers
A country calling code identifies a country inside the international telephone system. It sends the call to Namibia's national network. The digits after +264 make up the national number, which points to a specific line or service within Namibia. The sources used for this guide confirm the country code only. They do not cover Namibian area codes, mobile network prefixes or number lengths, so none are listed here.
How to dial a Namibian number from abroad
An international call to Namibia has three parts, dialed in this order: your country's international access prefix, then Namibia's country code, then the national number. Most mobile phones also accept the plus sign in place of the access prefix and convert it automatically for the network you are using.
From a landline or any phone: [YOUR INTERNATIONAL ACCESS PREFIX] 264 [NAMIBIAN NATIONAL NUMBER]
From a mobile phone: +264 [NAMIBIAN NATIONAL NUMBER]- Dial the international access prefix used in the country you are calling from, or press + on a mobile phone.
- Dial 264, Namibia's country code.
- Dial the Namibian national number, written in its international form.
The bracketed parts are placeholders. Replace them with the real access prefix and the real subscriber number. No example number is given because none was available in the supplied sources.
What to confirm before you dial
The sequence above is complete in structure, but a few details depend on information this guide does not have.
- Your international access prefix: this depends on the country you are calling from, and no origin was given. Check with your phone provider, or use + on a mobile phone.
- Leading trunk digit: in many countries, numbers written for domestic use start with a trunk prefix that is dropped after the country code. The supplied sources do not confirm how Namibia handles this. If a Namibian number is written in a domestic format, ask the number's owner or your provider for its full international form.
- Number length and format: the expected length of Namibian landline and mobile numbers is not covered here, so this guide cannot check whether a given number is complete.
- Calls within Namibia: the country code is used only for international calls. The format for domestic calls is not covered by the supplied sources.
How current this information is
The code +264 is given as Namibia's current assignment, based on a list of country calling codes checked in November 2026. Numbering plans can change. The supplied sources do not cover any earlier codes used for the territory, so no historical assignments are described here.
