Calls to and from neighbouring countries

Until the 1990s, Swaziland was integrated into the South African telephone numbering plan; calls from South Africa to Swaziland were made using the code 0194.[3] Calls to South Africa from Swaziland, however, required the use of the regional code 07.[4] Calls to Lesotho were similarly made using the regional code 05 while those to Mozambique were made using the code 06.[5]
