Algeria phone number types
The first digits of a Algeria 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 Algeria phone number, as dialed inside Algeria and from abroad.
Good to know before you call Algeria
“Allô”
French for hello, said when answering the phone. No single Algerian phone greeting is documented, so this is the everyday phrase in French, the dominant language in Algeria's business and professional circles.

“Allô, oui”
Algeria's numbering plan sets aside the whole 09 prefix for VoIP providers.

Questions about +213
Which country is +213?
+213, or country code 213, belongs to Algeria. Every Algerian number, from Algiers to Tamanrasset, dials out through this one code.
What is +213?
+213 is the part you dial before an Algerian number when you call from another country. It replaces the first 0 of the number.
What is the difference between +213 and 00213?
The + stands for your exit code. 00 is the exit code in Algeria, Europe, and most of the world, so 00213 and +213 reach the same number there. From the US and Canada, dial 011 213 instead.
