International Dialing Kenya
This is the international dialing code used when dialing from Kenya. International Dialing Kenya Code is also known as Kenya International Direct Dialing prefix (or IDD) is used when dialing from the Kenya to outside Kenya (sometimes also refers to as Kenya international access code). Do not use Kenya IDD code when dialing within Kenya. By simply using the Kenya Dialing Code before the number, it unables you to place a call to outside Kenya from within Kenya. Without this international dialing Kenya Code, you will not able to place a call outside the Kenya because the telephone exachange will not reconginize it as a valid international call.
To dial a international number outside Kenya from within Kenya, you have to dial International Dialing Kenya Code or Kenya International Direct Dialing prefix (IDD), Kenya Country Code, City/ Area Code, and then the subscriber telephone number respectively as:
+254 (International Dialing Kenya Code) + (Country Code) + City Area Code + Number you wish to call.
When dialing from a mobile phone outside Kenya from Kenya, only Dial '+' + (Country Code) + City Area Code + Number you wish to call. (The "+" is universal mobile international direct dialing prefix also includes Kenya)
On the other hand, when dialing to Kenya from outside Kenya, a Kenya Country Code is used. Kenya Country Code however is not used when dialing within Kenya.
The other type of code is Kenya National Direct Dialing prefix (or NDD). It is used only when dialing to a destination within the Kenya (Refer to dialing Kenya code). Kenya NDD code is only used as long distance dialing within the Kenya. Do not use Kenya National Direct Dialing prefix when dialing from outside Kenya into Kenya.
