Several routes connect you to Mozambique (+258) landlines, calling cards and modern VoIP services. Pick the one that fits your call volume and budget.
Dial your exit code (00 from most countries, or 011 from North America), enter +258, then the local Mozambique number — dropping any leading 0. Mozambique's 3-digit country code puts it in ITU Zone 2 of the global E.164 numbering plan.
Mozambique uses a 3-digit country code (Zone 2). Check that the card lists +258 rates explicitly — mobile numbers in Mozambique often carry a different per-minute charge than landlines. Factor in the Africa/Maputo time zone when planning the call.
Apps like Skype, WhatsApp and Viber, and business VoIP from TKOS are the cheapest route to Mozambique (+258) — routes to Mozambique use trans-Atlantic and trans-Indian Ocean cables — latency under 200 ms is typical on a good connection.
The cost of calling Mozambique varies depending on the method and service provider you choose. Compare landline, VoIP and calling-card routes side by side.

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.
Mozambique routes (Zone 2/Africa) can carry higher jitter — a headset with active noise cancellation compensates for audio artefacts without you needing to do anything.
Trans-Atlantic and Indian Ocean paths to Mozambique run 150–200ms — a wired ethernet connection eliminates Wi-Fi jitter that makes longer international routes sound choppy.
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.
Built on top of every Mozambique (+258) route quality, price, and people you can reach.

Mozambique +258
When selecting an international calling service for Mozambique, four factors separate the durable providers from the noise. Look for a proven track record on each.
Zone 2 routes are fragmented — confirm direct in-country termination to Maputo, not regional hub routing.
African routes degrade on cable outages — require redundant paths and a published failover RTO for Mozambique.
Confirm coverage for Africa/Maputo hours — a Maputo route issue at 09:00 needs a human response, not a next-day ticket.
Zone 2 landline and mobile rates can differ 5× — demand separate +258 landline and mobile rate sheets.
