How to dial Nigeria
Nigeria numbers are dialled as +234 followed by the national number, without the leading 0.
Drop the leading 0. A number written 0803 becomes +234 803, and Lagos's 01 becomes +234 1.
A number written in Nigeria as 0802 XXX XXXX is dialled from abroad as +234 802 XXX XXXX.
From this tab there is no exit code and no carrier: type it starting +234 and the band is read off the digits, so the price is for that exact number.
Dialling it from an ordinary phone instead
Dial the exit code for where you are standing, then 234, then the number.

03Before you rely on it
Three things that are true on every call
- The keypad stays live after it connects. Press 1 for English, key in an account number, enter a reference.
- Hold is billed per minute like any other minute. The running cost sits on screen while you wait.
- By default, the recipient sees an Airlophone number. Need them to recognise yours? Set up Verified Caller ID with a number you own. The dialer confirms whether it is available for the route before you call. Verify your number. Rent a number if you also need callbacks.

How do I call Nigeria from the US?
From a US or Canadian phone, dial 011, then 234, then the Nigeria number. From the UK, Ireland and most of Europe the exit code is 00 instead, and from Australia it is 0011. Drop the leading 0. A number written 0803 becomes +234 803, and Lagos's 01 becomes +234 1. For example, a number written in Nigeria as 0802 XXX XXXX is dialled from the US as 011 234 802 XXX XXXX. On Airlophone there is no exit code at all: the call is placed from a browser tab, so you type the number starting with +234 and the price for that exact number appears before anything dials.
Do I need an app or a SIM card to call Nigeria?
No. Airlophone runs in a browser tab, so there is nothing to install and no SIM to buy. The person you call needs nothing either: the call arrives on the ordinary phone network, so their phone simply rings, whether it is a landline or a mobile and whether or not they have internet.
