How can I stay connected in Tanzania with my phone and internet?
In Tanzania, you can use your phone with a local SIM card or call from public phone booths (€1.2-1.5/min to abroad). Internet is accessible via internet cafés, with WiFi still limited in accommodations.
Available telephone solutions
- Public phones : very widespread in the city, work with prepaid cards (€1.2 to €1.5/min to foreign countries)
- Post offices and large hotels : allow international calls
- Local SIM card : most economical solution for using your own mobile phone
International dialling
From France to Tanzania: 00 + 255 + city code (3 digits) + local number
From Tanzania to France: 00 + 33 + 9-digit number (without the initial 0)
Internet access
Cybercafés remain the main way to access the internet. Wifi is beginning to develop in tourist accommodation but remains limited.
Key points to remember
Some natural parks are outside mobile network coverage. Plan to inform your loved ones before heading on safari in isolated areas.
