Germany calling code: +49
The short answer is +49. The useful answer is: what do you dial from your country, and what should you do with leading zeros?
What to dial (quick guide)
- Start with your exit code (international call prefix), or just use + on mobiles.
- Dial 49 (the country calling code).
- Dial the national number (often with the domestic trunk prefix removed).
Trunk prefix note: domestic numbers may start with 0. When calling from abroad, you usually drop that leading 0.
