International Dialing Zimbabwe
This is the international dialing code used when dialing from Zimbabwe. International Dialing Zimbabwe Code is also known as Zimbabwe International Direct Dialing prefix (or IDD) is used when dialing from the Zimbabwe to outside Zimbabwe (sometimes also refers to as Zimbabwe international access code). Do not use Zimbabwe IDD code when dialing within Zimbabwe. By simply using the Zimbabwe Dialing Code before the number, it unables you to place a call to outside Zimbabwe from within Zimbabwe.

To dial a international number outside Zimbabwe from within Zimbabwe, you have to dial International Dialing Zimbabwe Code or Zimbabwe International Direct Dialing prefix (IDD), Zimbabwe Country Code, City/ Area Code, and then the subscriber telephone number respectively as:
+263 (International Dialing Zimbabwe Code) + (Country Code) + City Area Code + Number you wish to call.
When dialing from a mobile phone outside Zimbabwe from Zimbabwe, only Dial '+' + (Country Code) + City Area Code + Number you wish to call. (The "+" is universal mobile international direct dialing prefix also includes Zimbabwe)
On the other hand, when dialing to Zimbabwe from outside Zimbabwe, a Zimbabwe Country Code is used. Zimbabwe Country Code however is not used when dialing within Zimbabwe.
The other type of code is Zimbabwe National Direct Dialing prefix (or NDD). It is used only when dialing to a destination within the Zimbabwe (Refer to dialing Zimbabwe code). Zimbabwe NDD code is only used as long distance dialing within the Zimbabwe. Do not use Zimbabwe National Direct Dialing prefix when dialing from outside Zimbabwe into Zimbabwe.
