How to dial

Calling Central Region

+256+area code+subscriber number

Use trunk prefix 0 in the domestic format and remove it after +256. For example, 041 becomes +256 41. Uganda's domestic international-access prefix is 000, but the plus format is clearer for stored contacts and calls placed from abroad.

Entity boundary

Region vs. Telephone Area

Treat these city-code relationships as legacy UCC fixed-network associations. The current national plan identifies fixed-service ranges primarily by provider, not by a complete current geographic map, and it does not re-confirm each 2002 locality assignment. Other fixed networks use different leading ranges, and wireless or internet-based numbers are not geographic. A prefix cannot prove a caller's identity, carrier or present location.

A code listed beside a city reflects a featured numbering association; it does not assert that every community in Central Region uses that code or that the code stops at the administrative border.
