Albania phone number types

The first digits of a Albania number tell you what kind of number it is: a landline, a mobile, a free number, or one that costs more to call. Here is a sample of each type of Albania phone number, as dialed inside Albania and from abroad.

Type	Inside Albania	From abroad
LandlineStarts with 02, 03, 04, 05, or 08. The digits after the 0 name the area	022 345 678	+355 22 345 678
MobileStarts with 06. AKEP's plan keeps 06 and 07 fully non-geographic, so the digits never point to a place	067 212 3456	+355 67 212 3456
Toll-freeStarts with 0800	0800 1234	+355 800 1234

Questions about +355

Which country is +355?

+355, or country code 355, belongs to Albania.

What is +355?

+355 is the part you dial before an Albanian number when you call from another country. It replaces the first 0, so a Tirana line written 042 345 678 at home is dialed +355 42 345 678 from abroad.

What is the difference between +355 and 00355?

The + stands for your exit code. 00 is the exit code in Albania, Europe, and most of the world, so the 00355 country code and +355 reach the same number there. From the US and Canada, dial 011 355 instead.

Do I drop the 0 after +355?

Yes. The 0 is Albania's trunk prefix and works only inside Albania. Dial +355 42 345 678, not +355 042 345 678.

Can I text a +355 number?

Yes. Write the number as +355 without its first 0, so a mobile number starting 06 or 07 becomes +355 6 or +355 7 at the start, and your phone sends the text abroad at your carrier's international rate.

How much does it cost to call Albania?

A call to an Albanian mobile costs more than a call to a landline. The dialer on this page shows the exact price of the number you enter before you call.

What does Alo mean when someone answers the phone in Albania?

Alo is the everyday Albanian phone greeting, close to hello. Callers use the same word too.

Do Albanian mobile numbers show which city they are from?

No. Numbers starting with 06 or 07 are non-geographic in Albania's numbering plan, so they never point to a place.

The information on this page is accurate as of September 26, 2026.
