+234 · national number without the leading 0

For an ordinary Nigerian mobile, remove the domestic first 0 before adding +234. For a landline, ask for the current full international format, including its geographic code.

Masked geographic and mobile examples

Lagos geographic landline: 0201 234 XXXX → +234 201 234 XXXX. Nigerian mobile: 0803 123 XXXX → +234 803 123 XXXX.

Check older saved contact numbers

A contact saved in domestic format may need its leading zero removed for an international call. If a landline has not been used recently, confirm its current complete number with the person or organisation before retrying.

A clear start to a longer conversation

For family calls, arrange a time when both sides can talk and use a headset if your surroundings are noisy. For an office call, check Nigeria's local time and keep the person's name or department ready.

Why the examples are masked

Final subscriber digits are replaced with X so the examples explain number structure without publishing a number to call. Verify the real contact number and the identified destination before continuing.

Questions before you call

Why is +234 0… usually the wrong mobile format?

That 0 is the domestic prefix. An ordinary Nigerian mobile should use +234 followed by the national number with its initial zero removed.
