Dialing Portugal in Three Simple Steps
Portugal keeps things easy with a "closed" dialing plan, and every number runs to 9 digits.
Exit Code
Begin with the exit code where you are.
011 for USA/Canada.
00 for UK/Europe.
(On mobile or VoIP, a simple + does the same job)
Portugal Code (+351)
Enter +351, the code that hands your call over to Portugal's phone network.
9-Digit Number
Key in all 9 digits of the Portuguese number.
Tip: a 2 opens a landline, a 9 opens a mobile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the country code for Portugal?
Portugal's country calling code is +351. Dial it right after your local exit code (011 from the US, 00 from Europe) and just before the phone number.
How many digits are Portuguese phone numbers?
They run to 9 digits every time. A landline usually opens with a 2, and a mobile opens with a 9.
Do I need to dial a zero before the area code?
No. Portugal works on a closed numbering plan. Unlike the UK or Italy, there is no 'trunk code' (0) to add or drop. Just dial +351 and then the full 9-digit number.
Can I call Portuguese mobile phones?
Yes. Any Portuguese mobile (MEO, NOS, Vodafone) starting with 9 is reachable. The per minute rate sits a touch above landlines, yet stays low with Intercalling.
