Calling Ghana from United Kingdom: what to know

Ghana answers on the country code +233, with the capital in Accra and most business concentrated around Accra and Kumasi. The working language for business is English, and local offices generally keep hours of 8:00 to 17:00 with a midday break.

From United Kingdom the outbound access code is 00, so a manual dial reads 00 then +233 then the local number. StartACall removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between United Kingdom and Ghana.

Most mobiles in Ghana sit on operators such as MTN Ghana, Vodafone Ghana (Telecel), AirtelTigo. Ghana mobile numbers are 10 digits including the leading 0, drop the 0 for international format.

Ghana runs on UTC, and it does not observe daylight saving, so the time difference stays constant through the year.
