Dialing Italy in Three Simple Steps
Italy handles its area codes a little differently from the rest of Europe, so the dialing pattern is worth a quick look.
Exit Code
Begin with your country's exit code.
011 for USA/Canada.
00 for UK/Europe.
(Or simply tap + on mobile or VoIP)
Italy Code (+39)
Punch in +39. This hands your call over to Italy's telephone network.
Area Code & Number
Enter the city code followed by the subscriber number.
Heads up: hold on to the leading zero on landlines!
The "Leading Zero" Rule
In most countries you would drop the opening '0' of the area code when calling from abroad, yet Italy expects you to keep that zero for landlines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Italy's country code?
Italy's country calling code is +39. Dial it right after your local exit code (011 from the US, 00 from Europe) and just before the area code.
Should I drop the zero when calling Italy?
No, and plenty of people slip up here. Italy runs a 'closed' dialing plan, so the leading zero of the area code (for example 06 for Rome) stays in place even on international calls. Mobile numbers, on the other hand, normally start without a zero.
How do I reach an Italian mobile phone?
Italian mobiles almost always begin with the digit 3 (think 333, 340, or 328) and run 10 digits long. Just dial +39 and then the full mobile number, with no leading zero in front.
Can I call Italy for free?
Truly free services tend to trade away call quality or harvest your data. Intercalling instead gives new users a free trial to hear the line quality to Italy for themselves, and after that you only pay pennies per minute.
