Dial 011 (the US exit code), then 27 (South Africa's country code), then the 9-digit South African number with the leading 0 dropped β for example +27 11 for Johannesburg. From a mobile you can simply dial +27 and the number.
Yes. South African numbers are written with a trunk 0 for domestic dialing (011 Johannesburg, 021 Cape Town, 082 mobiles), but from abroad you drop that 0 and dial +27 followed by the remaining 9 digits β e.g. +27 11, +27 21, +27 82.
South Africa's country code is +27. After +27 and dropping the domestic leading 0, every number is 9 digits. Landlines start 01β05 (Johannesburg 11, Cape Town 21, Durban 31) and mobiles start 06β08.
South African mobiles start with 06, 07 or 08 domestically (carriers include Vodacom, MTN, Cell C and Telkom). Drop the leading 0 and dial +27 then the number β so 082 123 4567 becomes +27 82 123 4567.
