## How to call Rwanda

| Calling from | Dial |
| --- | --- |
| A mobile phone, anywhere | `+250 720 123 456` |
| United States & Canada | `011 250 720 123 456` |
| UK, Europe & most countries | `00 250 720 123 456` |
| Australia | `0011 250 720 123 456` |

Inside Rwanda, numbers are written with the trunk prefix 0 (for example 0720 123 456). Drop that 0 when you dial from abroad.

## Calling abroad from Rwanda

To call another country from a Rwanda landline, start with the exit code **00**, then the destination country code. On a mobile phone, holding **0** to type **+** works everywhere and replaces the exit code.

## Missed call from +250?

If you don’t know anyone in Rwanda, be careful with short missed calls from international numbers. “One-ring” scams hope you call back a premium-rate line. Don’t return the call, don’t share codes sent by SMS, and block the number if it keeps calling. A genuine contact will usually leave a message or text.
