## Frequently asked questions

What is the area code for Lagos?

The area code for Lagos, Nigeria is 1. Calling from outside Nigeria, dial your exit code, then +234, then the area code without its trunk prefix, then the local number — written together as +234 1 followed by the subscriber number.

How do I call Lagos from abroad?

From the United States or Canada, dial 011 + 234 + 1 + the local number. From most of Europe and from a mobile anywhere, replace the exit code with 00 or simply press and hold 0 to enter a plus sign, which works from any country without knowing its exit code.

Do I drop the 0 when calling Lagos?

Yes. Nigeria uses 0 as a trunk prefix for domestic calls, so Lagos's code is written 1 locally and dialled as 1 from abroad. Keeping the trunk prefix in an international number is the single most common reason the call fails to connect.

How many digits is a Lagos phone number?

A full Nigeria number is 8 digits after the country code, area code included — for example +234 1 234 5678. That length is fixed by the national numbering plan, so a number one digit short is a typo rather than a valid shorter number.

How much does it cost to call Lagos?

Calling a Lagos landline costs $0.32 a minute with Telvio and a mobile costs $0.32. Ten minutes to a landline is $3.20. Billing is per second with no connection fee, so a short call is charged for the seconds it used rather than rounded up to a whole minute.

## Call Lagos with Telvio

From $0.32/min. Per-second billing, 1 free minute included.
