Start with +678 and then enter the area code, mobile prefix, or subscriber number exactly as the destination format requires. If the local number starts with a domestic trunk prefix, check the international format before keeping or removing it. The cheapest practical option is usually the one that makes both the number format and the price clear before you connect.
These examples show the number shape to expect. Use them as format guidance, not as numbers to call.
A correct country code only solves the first part of the call. Local timing, number portability, and number type can still affect whether you have the right destination details. Landline and mobile prices can differ, so confirm the number type and current price before connecting.
