TelOne has changed all the country's area codes and telephone numbers. The area codes have been reduced from 195 to just 20 in line with the International Telecommunication Union regulations. The 20 area codes mean that some areas that previously had their own area codes are now sharing the same area code. For example, Ruwa whose area code was 0273, Norton 062, Arcturus 0274, Beatrice 065 and Chitungwiza 0270 are all now sharing the same area code with Harare which is 024.

The telephone numbers have now become longer with the addition of pre-fixes which effectively become part of your new telephone number, for example, the prefix for Harare numbers is 2 meaning all Harare numbers now start with 2 while the area code is now 024. For example, a Borrowdale number which was 861201 is now 2861201.

Therefore, to dial a number in your area code, one will have to include the prefix which is part of the telephone number while the area code is then added of calling into a different area code or from mobile number.

To access all the services available with TelOne's converged network, your landline number has been modified to start with a prefix. The last digits of your current number remain the same. Area Codes have also been changed as indicated below:
