How to Call South Africa from the U.S.
Making an international call to South Africa is easy.
To call South Africa, you can use either your Ooma Telo-connected home phone or the Ooma Mobile app.
- First, dial 011 to exit the U.S. telephone system.
- Now dial 27, which is the country code for South Africa.
- Next, dial the 9-digit local number.
South African mobile numbers begin with either 6, 7, 81, 82, 83 or 84. Keep in mind that mobile numbers are billed at different rates than landlines.
Calls made through the Ooma Mobile app don’t use any minutes or incur international charges on your wireless bill. Instead, these calls are routed over your data connection and may count against your data allotment if you’re not on an unlimited plan with your carrier. Connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot to minimize data usage.
