International Dialing Zambia
This is the international dialing code used when dialing from Zambia. International Dialing Zambia Code is also known as Zambia International Direct Dialing prefix (or IDD) is used when dialing from the Zambia to outside Zambia (sometimes also refers to as Zambia international access code). Do not use Zambia IDD code when dialing within Zambia. By simply using the Zambia Dialing Code before the number, it unables you to place a call to outside Zambia from within Zambia. Without this international dialing Zambia Code, you will not able to place a call outside the Zambia because the telephone exachange will not reconginize it as a valid international call.
To dial a international number outside Zambia from within Zambia, you have to dial International Dialing Zambia Code or Zambia International Direct Dialing prefix (IDD), Zambia Country Code, City/ Area Code, and then the subscriber telephone number respectively as:
+260 (International Dialing Zambia Code) + (Country Code) + City Area Code + Number you wish to call.
When dialing from a mobile phone outside Zambia from Zambia, only Dial '+' + (Country Code) + City Area Code + Number you wish to call. (The "+" is universal mobile international direct dialing prefix also includes Zambia)
On the other hand, when dialing to Zambia from outside Zambia, a Zambia Country Code is used. Zambia Country Code however is not used when dialing within Zambia.
The other type of code is Zambia National Direct Dialing prefix (or NDD). It is used only when dialing to a destination within the Zambia (Refer to dialing Zambia code). Zambia NDD code is only used as long distance dialing within the Zambia. Do not use Zambia National Direct Dialing prefix when dialing from outside Zambia into Zambia.
