Landline

In 2010 all landline phone numbers were changed to meet the international 10 digit standard of three number area code plus a seven digit number. The Accra land line (021) plus 6 digits was changed to 030 2 plus the six digits. It will likely take some time for the new numbers to be replaced on business cards, sign boards and advertising. Just remember that (021) has become 0302. New land line numbers for other areas of the country are listed below.
