Family, a bank, a school, a hospital, or a lawyer handling land or an estate, and most of it on a mobile: Ghana's phone network is mobile first, and a landline is the exception.

05Questions
Common questions
How do I call Ghana from the US?
Dial 011, then 233, then the Ghana number. Drop the leading 0 and dial the rest after +233. A mobile written 024 becomes +233 24, and 054 becomes +233 54, leaving nine digits after the country code. Nearly every Ghanaian number you will be given is a mobile, and it is priced as one. From a browser on Airlophone there is no exit code at all: you type the number starting +233 and the price for that exact number appears before it dials.
What is the country code for Ghana?
+233. From the US you dial 011 first to leave the country, so the full string begins 011 233. From the UK and most of Europe the exit code is 00 instead, and from Australia it is 0011.

Can I use my own number as caller ID?
Yes, if the number is eligible. Verify that you control it once, then select it as your Verified Caller ID when you call. Some networks cannot present a number you own on every route, and the dialer confirms that before the call starts.
What is the best time to call Ghana from the US?
Ghana keeps GMT all year and never changes its clocks, so it is 5 hours ahead of US Eastern time in winter and 4 hours ahead in summer. Accra's working day ends at 5, which is noon or 1pm in New York.
Do I need an app or a SIM card?
No app or SIM is required. Use a browser with internet and a microphone. The recipient answers their ordinary landline or mobile and needs no internet connection.
