How To Call A Nigerian Number From The UK.

Over the past few years, there has been a steady rise in the number of Nigerians migrating to the UK annually. If you are among the recent immigrants, you’d likely need to make international calls to Nigeria occasionally for business or to keep in touch with your loved ones

In this article, we explore the options you can use for calling Nigerian numbers and what you need to know about them.

Option 1: Call Nigeria with a landline or mobile phone.

One of the more straightforward options for reaching someone in Nigeria is placing a direct phone call from a landline or mobile phone. To do this, you'll need to follow these steps: 

1. Enter the international access code for the UK, which is 00

2. Follow up with the country code for Nigeria; 234. 

3. Then add the actual phone number.

So, for example, if you were trying to call the number 08012345678 from the UK, you would dial 00 234 80 1234 5678.

Note: Calls to Nigeria from a landline or a mobile phone can be expensive because international calling rates can be high, and your phone provider will likely charge additional fees for international calls.

Option 2: Use a calling card.

Calling cards are prepaid cards that allow you to make international calls at a discounted rate. To use a calling card, you'll need to follow these steps: 

1. Purchase a calling card from a provider. 

2. Dial the access number on the card. 

3. Follow the instructions provided to enter your PIN and the number you want to call.

Using a calling card can be a good way to save money on international calls, but it's important to choose a reputable provider like the UK Post Office and to read the terms & conditions carefully to make sure you understand any fees or restrictions that may apply. 

Option 3: Use a VoIP service. 

Lastly, you can use a VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) service to call Nigerian numbers from the UK. VoIP services use the internet to make calls, rather than traditional phone lines, and are a much more affordable option for international calls. 

Some examples of VoIP services are Google Voice, and WhatsApp among others.

In conclusion, there are several options available for making calls to Nigeria. It is important to choose the option that is most convenient for both you and your recipient
