Dial Ghana directly through your phone carrier using country code 233 — convenient, but international rates can add up fast.
Prepaid calling cards let you reach Ghana at lower rates, though you'll juggle access numbers and PINs each time.
MeraTalk connects you to Ghana over the internet with HD-clear audio, low rates, and no hardware to set up.
Dial 011, then 233, then the number, dropping the leading 0.
On a mobile you can replace the exit code with a + sign and dial +233 directly, which works from any country without knowing the local exit code.
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 Ghana's country code — no spaces or dashes. This routes your call to Ghana's telephone network. On smartphones, replace the exit code with a + sign.
Add the city or regional code for your destination in Ghana. 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.
A strong, stable internet connection is the foundation of every clear call — use Wi-Fi or solid data whenever you can.
A quality headset sharpens both ends of the conversation, making your calls to Ghana clearer and more comfortable.
Keep the time difference in mind — UTC+0 — so you reach people at a reasonable hour and not in the middle of the night.
The price of calling Ghana swings widely depending on whether you use a carrier, a calling card, or VoIP — and VoIP usually wins.
How to get started with MeraTalk
Phone numbers in Ghana follow set ranges after the 233 country code, distinguishing mobiles, landlines, and special services.
In Ghana the prefix still identifies the network. Two operators have rebranded recently, so older references carry out-of-date names: Vodafone Ghana became Telecel Ghana in February 2024, and AirtelTigo became AT in June 2023.
From abroad, drop the leading 0: a number written 024 123 4567 is dialled +233 24 123 4567.
+233 is Ghana. A call showing +233 or 00233 is coming from Ghana, in West Africa. The digits after the country code tell you what kind of number it is:
Ghanaian area codes by city and region, with the full number as you dial it from abroad.
Ghanaian numbers are nine digits after the trunk 0, which is dropped when dialling from abroad — an Accra number written 030 XXX XXXX is dialled +233 30 XXX XXXX.
