About France Phone Numbers

French mobile numbers start with 06 or 07, followed by 8 digits. Landlines start with 01-05 or 08/09 for special services. Numbers are traditionally written in pairs.

How to Dial France Phone Numbers

To call a France phone number, the exact format depends on where the call starts. Domestic calls usually keep the leading 0, while international calls to France use the +33 country code instead.

• Within France: Dial the full national number, including the leading 0 for standard domestic calls.
  Example: 06 12 34 56 78
• From abroad to France: Dial +33 followed by the national number without the leading 0.
  Example: +33 6 12 34 56 78
• From France to other countries: Dial 00, then the country code, then the full phone number.
  Example: 00 1 212 555 0123

Note: French domestic numbers begin with 0, but that prefix is dropped in international format.
