What is the telephone country code for South Africa?

See the related link for a map of country codes in Africa with a list of many of the city codes (area codes) and mobile codes.

Country codes in Africa begin with +2. With the exception of +20 (Egypt) and +27 (South Africa), all African country codes have three digits.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)
