Telephone numbers in South Sudan

South Sudan uses a two digit mobile code along with a seven digit phone number. For international calls, South Sudan has been assigned the +211 code by the International Telecommunication Union.

Before the secession in 2011, the area, later to be known as South Sudan, used Sudan's country-level calling code. After its secession as an independent state on 9 July 2011, South Sudan continued to use the country-level calling code of Sudan +249 until 1 October 2011. The United Nations recognized South Sudan on 14 July 2011, and in so the United Nations suggested the country-level calling code to become active by 16 July 2011. The calling code went "live" on 1 October 2011.
