Notes on Zimbabwe Dialing
Zimbabwe uses a national numbering plan where landline numbers typically follow: a 1-3 digit area code + 6-7 digit subscriber number (totaling up to 9 digits).
Major cities use short area codes: Harare (4), Bulawayo (9), Mutare (19). Mobile numbers start with 7 or 8 and are 9 digits long (e.g., 771 234 567).
When calling from abroad, dial +263 followed directly by the area code and local number-do not include a leading zero.
Example mobile call: +263 71 123 4567
