Understanding the Kenya phone code is essential for staying connected with loved ones, colleagues, or business partners in Kenya. Whether you’re a traveler, expat, or simply need to make international calls, AfriCallShop offers a cost-effective solution to call Kenya without the hassle. In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about the Kenya country code, dialing tips, and how AfriCallShop simplifies the process.

What is the Kenya Phone Code?

The Kenya phone code is +254, which serves as the country’s international dialing prefix. When calling a Kenyan number from abroad, you’ll start with +254, followed by the local area code and subscriber number. Here’s how it works:

 

  • Landlines: Drop the trunk prefix (0) from the local number.

Example: Local number 020 123 4567 becomes +254 20 123 4567.

  • Mobile numbers: Remove the leading 0.

Example: 0712 345 678 becomes +254 712 345 678.

How to Dial Kenya from Abroad?

  1. Start with your country’s exit code (e.g., 011 in the US, 00 in Europe).
  2. Enter the Kenya phone code (+254).
  3. Add the area code (for landlines) or mobile prefix (e.g., 711, 772).
  4. Dial the remaining 6-7 digits.

 

Sample US-to-Kenya Call: 011 + 254 + 20 + 123 4567
