The 234 country code also comes with the question of which country uses +234. This is because it is not merely a general number which can be ascribed to different locations. It is a country number or code that is used with just one location in mind.
234 Country Code
Country codes are part of the international telephone numbering plan and are used to dial phone numbers when making international calls. When you see a phone number with the country code +234, it means you are calling a number in Nigeria.
234 is the country calling code assigned to Nigeria by the International Telecommunication Union. All of the country’s telephone numbers are also designated under the Nigerian Communications Act of 2003 created by the Federal Ministry of Communication Technology of the Nigerian Government.
| Location | Country Code | Landline Area Code | Landline Number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lagos | +234 | (1) | 123-456-7890 |
| Abuja | +234 | (9) | 123-456-7890 |
| Kano | +234 | (64) | 123-456-7890 |
The table above shows, that before you call Nigeria using your mobile phone, dial the country code, the area code and the 5-7-digit number. Some of the common area codes in Nigeria include Lagos (1), Abuja (9) and Kano (64).
Also, note that, area code 234 serves northeastern Ohio except the area along Lake Erie. It includes the cities of Akron, Canton, and Youngstown. It is an overlay for area code 330 and serves the same area.
