International Dialing Tanzania
This is the international dialing code used when dialing from Tanzania. International Dialing Tanzania Code is also known as Tanzania International Direct Dialing prefix (or IDD) is used when dialing from the Tanzania to outside Tanzania (sometimes also refers to as Tanzania international access code). Do not use Tanzania IDD code when dialing within Tanzania. By simply using the Tanzania Dialing Code before the number, it unables you to place a call to outside Tanzania from within Tanzania. Without this international dialing Tanzania Code, you will not able to place a call outside the Tanzania because the telephone exachange will not reconginize it as a valid international call.
To dial a international number outside Tanzania from within Tanzania, you have to dial International Dialing Tanzania Code or Tanzania International Direct Dialing prefix (IDD), Tanzania Country Code, City/ Area Code, and then the subscriber telephone number respectively as:
+255 (International Dialing Tanzania Code) + (Country Code) + City Area Code + Number you wish to call.
When dialing from a mobile phone outside Tanzania from Tanzania, only Dial '+' + (Country Code) + City Area Code + Number you wish to call. (The "+" is universal mobile international direct dialing prefix also includes Tanzania)
On the other hand, when dialing to Tanzania from outside Tanzania, a Tanzania Country Code is used. Tanzania Country Code however is not used when dialing within Tanzania.
The other type of code is Tanzania National Direct Dialing prefix (or NDD). It is used only when dialing to a destination within the Tanzania (Refer to dialing Tanzania code). Tanzania NDD code is only used as long distance dialing within the Tanzania. Do not use Tanzania National Direct Dialing prefix when dialing from outside Tanzania into Tanzania.
