Dialing Tips

  • Keep every digit: Italy numbers have no trunk prefix, so dial them after +39 exactly as they are written locally.
  • Use the + notation: From a US mobile phone, use +39 instead of 011 39.
  • Verify the number length: Numbers in Italy have 9 or 10 digits for mobiles and 6 to 12 for landlines after +39. 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 +39 prefix so they work from any country.
