How to dial South Africa from the United Kingdom
From a phone in the United Kingdom: 00 (exit code) + 27 (South Africa) + area code + local number. In EzyRing, type +27 instead of 00 27.
Will they see my number?
- A number from the United Kingdom (or any country other than South Africa): A number from outside South Africa usually shows, but carriers on the route can hide or replace caller ID, so we can't guarantee it.
- A number from South Africa itself: A number from South Africa calling South Africa from abroad is more likely to be hidden, because many countries now filter calls that present a local number from overseas.
Calls go out with the number you verified; whether it's displayed is up to the recipient's carrier. How verified caller ID works
