Dialing Formats

To call a landline in Kasane from within Botswana, subscribers dial the seven-digit national number, which begins with the area code 62 followed by a five-digit local subscriber number. The full national format is 62X XXXX (e.g., 62 12345). No trunk prefix is required; the country code +267 is only used for international calls.

From outside Botswana, callers must dial the international access prefix (00 or +), then the country code 267, followed by the area code and subscriber number without any leading zero: +267 62X XXXX.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within Botswana): Dial the 7-digit number directly: 62 12345.
• International callers: Dial your country's exit code, then 267 62 12345 (e.g., from the UK: 00 267 62 12345; from the US: 011 267 62 12345).

Technical Notes

This is a geographic number tied to the PSTN infrastructure of the Chobe District. The Botswana Communications Regulatory Authority (BOCRA) manages numbering resources under the National Numbering Plan. As of the latest updates, there are no overlay codes for Kasane; the 62 code is exclusive to this region. However, number portability may allow subscribers to retain their numbers when moving between operators, but the geographic significance remains for routing purposes.

For businesses and tourism operators in Kasane, having a local geographic number enhances trust and local presence. International callers should note that call charges may vary depending on their telecom provider and the destination's rate zone.
