Phone numbers in Botswana
What a phone number in Botswana carries: its country calling code, an example number for every line type the numbering plan has, the regulator table this server syncs for it and what the weekly coverage measurement found there, and the area-code pages beneath it. Read from the numbering metadata and the regulator’s own table, never from a number anyone typed.
The numbering plan for Botswana
Every phone lookup starts from the numbering metadata: it settles whether a number is valid for Botswana, how it is written nationally and internationally, and which line type its range belongs to. The example numbers below are the plan’s own examples per line type, not real subscribers.
| calling_code | +267 |
|---|---|
| example, mobile | +267 71 123 456 |
| example, fixed line | +267 240 1234 |
| example, toll free | +267 0800 012 345 |
| example, premium rate | +267 90 12345 |
| example, VoIP | +267 79 101 234 |
| regulator table | none — libphonenumber only |
| area-code pages | 0 |
| disposable list | 126,670 listed numbers worldwide, synced 2026-09-07 |
| fictional ranges | none reserved under this calling code |
| continent | AF |
| currency | BWP |
| timezone | Africa/Gaborone |
The regulator table behind a lookup here
No regulator publishes a machine-readable block table for Botswana that this server syncs, so a lookup here answers from the numbering metadata alone: the format, the line type and the region of a number, with carrier null and block_status null. That is not a gap in the number; it is the limit of what is published.
What a lookup answers for a number here
Every number the plan accepts for Botswana comes back with its formats, its line_type and line_type_source, its region and timezones, and the is_fictional and is_disposable flags from the bundled fiction ranges and the synced list of SMS-receiving numbers. With no regulator table here, carrier and block_status answer null rather than a guess.
Africa/Gaborone: the whole country keeps one clock, so a lookup answers that zone for every number here.
