Reach Benin with a single extra step — country code 229 — straight from your carrier, at usual rates.

MeraTalk routes your Benin calls through the internet, delivering HD voice and savings the old methods can't match.
Full dialing sequence
Start by dialing your own country's international access code. From the US or Canada this is 011; from most of Europe it's 00. This tells your network you're making an international call.
Immediately follow with Benin's country code — no spaces or dashes. This routes your call to Benin's telephone network. On smartphones, replace the exit code with a + sign.
Add the city or regional code for your destination in Benin. If the local number starts with a 0 (trunk prefix), drop it — the country code replaces it when dialing internationally.
Enter all remaining digits of the local number exactly as written. For mobile numbers, include every digit — no abbreviations. Press call and your carrier does the rest.
Don't let a weak connection ruin a good call — use the most reliable network you can find.
A clear-mic headset ensures your voice reaches Benin crisply, even from a noisy room.
Check UTC+1 time first; what feels like midday to you could be the dead of night over there.
Reaching Benin fits most budgets when you choose internet calling over pricier traditional methods.
