Nigeria has two types of phone numbers: landlines (mostly in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt) starting with area codes like 01, 09, and mobile numbers starting with prefixes like 0803, 0805, 0701. When dialing from abroad, replace the leading 0 with +234. For example, to call a Lagos landline 01-xxx-xxxx, dial +234-1-xxx-xxxx. Mobile numbers like 0803-xxx-xxxx become +234-803-xxx-xxxx.
Nigeria's international country code is +234. It was assigned by the International Telecommunication Union under recommendation E.164 and is the dialing prefix at the start of every Nigeria phone number written in international format.
You'll often see +234 referred to in search as the "234 area code". Strictly speaking, +234 is a country code — area codes are sub-national, used inside Nigeria. The practical meaning is the same: any number starting with +234 or 00234 is a Nigeria number.
TwinPhone routes calls to every +234 number directly from your browser — no app, no SIM card, no calling card. Type +234 followed by the local number, press call, and you're connected.
