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 +258. This identifies Mozambique 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 Maputo or elsewhere.
To call Mozambique on WhatsApp, save the number with +258 and no exit prefix — WhatsApp dials from your contacts, not a dial pad. Voice and video calls are free over data.

TKOS provisions +258 DIDs and termination through direct carrier interconnects.
Whether you're reaching Mozambique for business or family, three habits keep every conversation crystal clear and a clean route from TKOS handles the rest.
Maputo routes through East Africa can carry higher jitter — a headset with active noise cancellation compensates for audio artefacts without you needing to adjust anything.
Maputo is ~1,100 km away — latency under 75ms. Wi-Fi is fine, though wired removes the last source of packet loss.
Schedule Mozambique calls during Maputo business hours — 09:00–17:00 Africa/Maputo — your contact will be at their desk in a quiet space rather than taking the call on the move.
