The +258 code and who uses it
The +258 country code belongs to Mozambique, listed on this page as the country that uses it. Mozambique is the official short name; the full official name is the Republic of Mozambique. Its ISO code is MZ and the demonym for people and things from the country is Mozambican. The code sits in the Africa region under the Eastern Africa subregion. Any number beginning +258 is a Mozambican number, and the country on this page is Mozambique alone.
Location, capital, language and currency
Mozambique lies in Eastern Africa. Its capital is Maputo. Portuguese is the language listed for the country, and the currency is the Mozambican metical. The country runs on the Africa/Maputo time zone at UTC+02:00. That offset applies across the whole country, so a call to Maputo or elsewhere in Mozambique follows the same clock. The metical is the unit used for mobile credit and for any balance sent to a Mozambican mobile.
Number format and reaching a +258 mobile
A Mozambican mobile number in international form looks like this: +258 82 123 4567. The +258 is the country code, and the digits after it identify the mobile line. Use the full international format when dialling from outside Mozambique or when storing the number in a messaging app.
You can call or message a +258 number over the internet using a data connection, which avoids a standard international call route. The same data connection supports sending prepaid credit to a Mozambican mobile. Slashtel sends prepaid mobile top-ups to three Mozambique operators: Vodacom, Movitel and Tmcel. To add credit, use the link to top up a Mozambique number. The recipient then holds a balance on the Mozambican metical account tied to the line. Top-ups reach lines on any of the three named operators, and the mobile number is the only identifier needed for the transfer.
Mozambique uses one time zone, Africa/Maputo at UTC+02:00, and one currency, the Mozambican metical. Portuguese is the language recorded for the country, and Maputo is the capital. The +258 code covers Mozambique only.
