Netherlands Country Code

Netherlands phone code is the telephone country code that is used for phone communications when a call is placed from outside of the country.

Netherlands Country Code is +31

Netherlands country code is +31. The country code is necessary only when dialing a phone number to make a telephone call from another country. International callers who wish to dial a telephone number in the Netherlands should dial the Netherlands telephone country code (+31) before the national telephone number preceded by area code.

All national phone numbers in the Netherlands are nine digits long – aa-bbb-bbbb with aa being the area code. Follow these easy steps to dial a phone number in the Netherlands using the country code:

Step 1. Enter your country’s exit code on your phone. If you are calling from Europe please enter the 00 (or “+” sign if calling from a mobile device) or 011 if calling from the United States. American callers use the “011” exit code for all international call, including Netherlands.

Step 2. Dial 31, the Netherlands country code.

Step 3. Then enter the Netherlands area code. Don’t use the trunk code “0” when calling from outside the Netherlands.

Step 4. Right after the area code, dial the national phone number you wish to call in the Netherlands.

Here is an example: 

When calling from Europe: 00 31 aa bbb bbbb (or +31 aa bbb bbbb from a mobile device)
When calling from the United States: 011 31 aa bbb bbbb

The Netherlands area codes are two or three digit long codes that are used for long-distance calling inside the country. Please do not enter the trunk “0” when calling overseas. Here are some the Netherlands area codes:

If you wish to dial a phone number with these area codes from outside the Netherlands, you would have to dial first the exit code, then the Netherlands country code 31. 

For example, if you want to dial a phone number in Amsterdam, this would be an example of a phone number: +31 20 bbb bbbb or 0031 20 bbb bbbb, and 011 31 20 bbb bbbb if calling from the United States.

The Netherlands mobile phone numbers are operated by the three largest local mobile phone companies – KPN, Vodafone Nederland, and T-Mobile.

The mobile phone code in the Netherlands is 6. When dialing a mobile phone number from outside of the country, first you need to dial the exit code (for example, “011” or “+” sign if calling from the United States), then the Netherlands country code “31”, plus the nine digit phone number including mobile code “6”.

For example, enter 011 31 6 bbbb bbbb or +31 6 bbbb bbbb if calling from the United States.
