Dialing Tips

Remove the leading 0: When dialing internationally, drop the trunk prefix (0) that is used for domestic calls in Belgium.
Use the + notation: From a US mobile phone, use +32 instead of 011 32.
Verify the number length: Numbers in Belgium have 9 digits for mobiles and 8 for landlines after +32. If your call does not connect, check that no digit is missing or doubled.
Save contacts in international format: Always store phone numbers with the full +32 prefix so they work from any country.
