South Africa switched to a closed numbering system effective 16 January 2007. At that time, it became mandatory to dial the full 10-digit telephone number, including the zero in the three-digit area code, for local calls (e.g., 011 must be dialed from within Johannesburg).
This list contains the mobile country codes and mobile network codes for networks with country codes between 600 and 699, inclusively – a region that covers Africa and the surrounding islands (excluding the Canary Islands and Madeira, which are part of Spain and Portugal, respectively).
Area codes beginning with 06 were allocated to Namibia, including Walvis Bay, a South African exclave, which was not transferred to Namibian sovereignty until 1994. Following Namibia's independence in 1990, direct dialing between Namibia and South Africa was discontinued, and calls were classed as international.
