How to dial a phone number in Belgium using Country Code?

All national phone numbers in Belgium are eight digits long – aa bb bb bb, with aa being the area code followed by the 6 digit local phone number (if the area code has 2 digits, or by 7 digits if the area code has 1 digit). Follow these easy steps to dial a phone number in Belgium 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 Belgium.

Step 2. Dial 32, Belgium’s country code.

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

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

Here is an example: 

When calling from Europe: 00 32 aa bb bb bb (or +32 aa bb bb bb from a mobile device)
When calling from the United States: 011 32 aa bb bb bb
