A complete international number is built from four parts. Here's the anatomy and the dialling order.
Number anatomy
Format follows ITU-T Recommendation E.164 the international public telecommunication numbering plan.
Press + on a mobile (hold the 0 key), or dial 00 from most countries / 011 from North America.
Dial +253. This identifies Djibouti on the global telephone network.
Type the first part of the local number. Drop the leading 0 if there is one.
The remaining digits route the call to the specific line in Djibouti or elsewhere.
To call Djibouti on WhatsApp, save the number with +253 and no exit prefix — WhatsApp dials from your contacts, not a dial pad. Voice and video calls are free over data.

Schedule Djibouti calls during Djibouti business hours — 09:00–17:00 Africa/Djibouti — your contact will be at their desk in a quiet space rather than taking the call on the move.
