Questions about +39

Which country is +39?

+39, or country code 39, belongs to Italy. Vatican City uses it too, since its phone lines run through the Italian network.

What is +39?

+39 is the part you dial before an Italian number when you call from another country. It replaces the exit code your own country uses.

What is the difference between +39 and 0039?

The + stands for your own exit code. 00 is that exit code across most of Europe, so 0039 and +39 reach the same number there. From the US or Canada, dial 011 39 instead.

Can I text a +39 number?

Yes. Write the number as +39 with the rest of the digits unchanged, and your phone sends the text abroad at your carrier's international rate.

How much does it cost to call Italy?

A call to an Italian 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.

Do I drop the 0 when I call an Italian number from abroad?

No. Keep the 0. Italian landline numbers have included it since 1998, unlike numbers in most other countries, where a leading 0 is dropped.

Does Vatican City have its own country code?

No. Vatican City uses +39, the same code as Italy, and its numbers dial into the Italian numbering plan.

Why do Italians say pronto on the phone?

Pronto comes from the Latin word for ready. Answering this way tells the caller you are listening, not offering a greeting word.
