Just make sure to enter the number in the international format \u2013 the same as when making a call via landline: <strong>your country\u2019s exit code + country code + area code + phone number<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The last part in this format is self-explanatory, but what about the rest?<\/p>\n<h3>Exit Code<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a unique sequence of numbers used to distinguish local calls from international ones. It\u2019s dialed at the very beginning, before the phone number you\u2019re trying to reach. It simply tells your phone service provider that this call must be routed internationally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, the US and Canada share the exit code \u201c011\u201d, while \u201c00\u201d is used in Germany and Saudi Arabia. Pretty simple, right? Most codes consist of zeros and ones. However, the combinations may differ, so we recommend looking up your country\u2019s code by simply Googling it to make sure you dial it correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be aware that with many international calling apps, including Yolla, you don\u2019t have to include this code to make a call. Just dial the number starting with the country code.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Country Code<\/h3>\n<p><strong>+291<\/strong> is the <strong>country calling code<\/strong> that is used to call Eritrea. As long as you dial the phone number in the <strong>international format<\/strong> with the Eritrean country code, you can call anyone in Eritrea.<\/p>\n<p>You can check the country codes of any country you want on the <a href=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/country-codes\/\">International Country Codes<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<h3>Area Code<\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>area code<\/strong> is the part of the number that, naturally, indicates what area in the whole country you\u2019re trying to reach. It can be a city, a town or another specific region. If the mobile number you\u2019re calling starts with a group of numbers in parentheses, this is most likely the area code.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the area code of the capital of Eritrea, Asmara, is <strong>1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Calling Eritrea with Yolla \u2013 Cheap Rates, High-Quality Connection and More<\/h2>\n<p>No matter where you\u2019re calling from, Yolla\u2019s rates are always the same. You can make cheap calls from anywhere in the world, and the rate you pay won\u2019t change. You can check Yolla\u2019s exact <a href=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/rates\/calls-to-eritrea\/\">calling rates to Eritrea here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Yolla\u2019s low rates on international calls is just one of many advantages.<\/p>\n<p>The app provides lag-free, stable and high-quality calls. We care deeply about our users, so our customer support is available 24\/7 for any question you may have.<\/p>\n<p>One of Yolla\u2019s signature features is that you can keep your phone number \u2013 anyone you call will know it\u2019s you! Having your original phone number displayed is very important, especially when you have to call your bank from another country.<\/p>\n<p>There are many calling apps that allow you to call and message people practically anywhere, but making phone calls to devices that don\u2019t have their app installed is not an option for most of these apps. With Yolla, you can call anyone directly, from anywhere, regardless of wether their phone is mobile or landline or has Yolla installed. This makes Yolla a reliable calling app for lots of people.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n        <ul class=\"article__apps\">\n            <li class=\"article__apps-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/itunes-blog\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    <img src=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/white-app-store.svg\" alt=\"icon\"\/>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"article__apps-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/android-blog\" target=\"_blank\">\n                  <img src=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/white-google-play.svg\" alt=\"icon\"\/>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"article__apps-item web\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/en\/account\/?utm_source=blog-web\" target=\"_blank\">Join Yolla and start saving on calls<\/a>\n            <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How to Make Free Calls to Eritrea<\/h2>\n<p>Using the format we\u2019ve shared above, you can make both paid calls and free calls with Yolla.
