Telephone numbers in Botswana

Fixed line numbers in Botswana are seven digits long in a closed telephone numbering plan, with the geographical area being indicated by the first two or three digits, meaning that there are no area codes. The country was allocated its own country code by the International Telecommunication Union, +267, in the late 1960s.

Calling formats

• xx xxxxx or xxx xxxxx – calling within Botswana
• +267 xx xxxxx or +267 xxx xxxxx – calling from outside Botswana

The NSN length is seven digits for fixed lines, and eight digits for VoIP and mobile ranges.

Until the 1990s, calls to Botswana could be made from South Africa using the regional code 0192.
