Mozambique Phone Number validator
How the phone number format works
- Format
- Mozambique phone number in national or international (+258) format
- Example
- +258821234567
Things to watch for
- Accepts national or international (E.164, e.g. +258...) format
- Validated with Google's libphonenumber; confirms the number is possible/valid for this country, not that it is currently assigned or reachable
^[+]?[0-9 ()\-]{6,}$A Mozambican mobile number is 9 digits long with no trunk prefix layered on top — a contrast to South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Malawi next door, all of which strip a leading 0 for their country codes. In Mozambique, 82 123 4567 dialed domestically is identical to what follows +258 internationally: +258821234567, digit for digit.
How this validator works
Enter the number exactly as dialed locally (821234567) or with +258 in front (+258821234567); this tool checks the 9-digit length against Mozambique’s real numbering plan using Google’s libphonenumber, entirely in your browser. Because there’s no trunk digit to add or remove here, the validator’s most frequent catch is someone tacking on a leading 0 out of habit from a neighboring country’s format — that extra digit fails validation immediately.
What a pass doesn’t tell you
A pass confirms the 9 digits match a genuine Mozambican mobile shape — it says nothing about whether the SIM is currently topped up or the line active.
Scope: use this to catch an extra digit, a wrong count, or a malformed prefix before a Mozambican number reaches a form — not as proof it’s reachable today.

phone number FAQ
Does a Mozambican mobile number have a trunk 0 to strip for +258?
No. Unlike many of its southern African neighbors, Mozambique's numbering plan doesn't use a leading trunk digit at all — 82 123 4567 dialed locally is exactly what follows +258 internationally: +258821234567, with nothing added or removed.
How long is a Mozambican mobile number?
Nine digits, always — the same 9 digits whether you're dialing within Mozambique or adding +258 in front for an international call.
Does a valid check confirm a Mozambican number is currently in service?
No. It only confirms the digits fit a real Mozambican mobile pattern under the numbering plan — not that the SIM is active, which needs a carrier-side lookup this tool doesn't perform.
