This numerical sequence, assigned to South Sudan, facilitates international telephone communication. It functions as a prefix dialed before the specific local number when calling into the country, enabling telecommunication networks worldwide to route calls correctly. For example, when calling a number within South Sudan from another nation, one would dial this sequence followed by the South Sudanese area code and the recipient’s personal number.
Its implementation is essential for connecting South Sudan with the global community, fostering trade, diplomacy, and personal relationships. The introduction of this code following the nation’s independence represents a crucial step in establishing its infrastructure and integrating it into the international telecommunications system. This framework allows for efficient and reliable contact, which is vital for economic growth and stability.
