Calling Portugal from France: what to know

Portugal answers on the country code +351, with the capital in Lisbon and most business concentrated around Lisbon, Porto and Braga. The working language for business is Portuguese, and local offices generally keep hours of 9:30 to 18:30 with a 1-hour lunch usually 13:00 to 14:00.

From France the outbound access code is 00, so a manual dial reads 00 then +351 then the local number. Intercalling removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between France and Portugal.

Most mobiles in Portugal sit on operators such as MEO (Altice Portugal), NOS, Vodafone Portugal. Portuguese mobile numbers are 9 digits starting with 9; landlines also 9 digits starting with 2.

Portugal runs on UTC, and it shifts for daylight saving, so confirm the current difference before an early or late call.
