What is the Phone Number Format in Somalia?

Most phone numbers in Somalia are written in the following formats:

   Prefix: long distance or international
   --------------------------------------
   |   Carrier or area code 
   |   --------------------
   |   |   Subscriber number
   |   |   -----------------
   v   v   v
       AAA SSS SSS      - Local format
  +252 AAA SSS SSS      - International format

Most telephone numbers in Somalia have 9 digits and are written in the format of "AAA SSS SSS". Here are some examples: 618 320 222; 619 967 029.

When dialing locally inside Somalia, dial the phone number directly as "AAA SSS SSS". Long distance prefix is not needed.

When dialing from outside of Somalia, the international dial-in prefix "+252" is required. So the format becomes "+252 AAA SSS SSS".

When dialing from Somalia to other countries, the international dail-out prefix "+" or "00" required.
