Notes on Namibia Dialing
Namibia uses a **9-digit closed numbering plan**. Domestically, numbers often begin with a leading 0 (e.g., 061 234 5678), but **when calling from abroad, you must omit this 0**.
Landlines begin with 6 (e.g., 61 for Windhoek, 64 for Swakopmund).
Mobile numbers start with 81-85 or 87.
Always dial internationally as: +264 [9-digit number without leading 0].
Example mobile call: +264 81 234 5678
