France Country Code

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

France’s Country Code is +33

France’s country code is +33. 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 France should dial France’s telephone country code (+33) before the national telephone number preceded by area code.

All national phone numbers in France are ten digits long – 0a bb bb bbbb, with 0a being the area code followed by the 8 digit local phone number. Always delete the trunk code “0” when calling from overseas. Follow these easy steps to dial a phone number in France 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 France.

Step 2. Dial 33, France’s country code.

Step 3. Then enter France’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 France.

Here is an example: 

When calling from Europe: 00 33 a bb bb bb bb (or +33 a bb bb bb bb from a mobile device)
When calling from the United States: 011 33 a bb bb bb bb

France’s area codes are two 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 France’s area codes:

If you wish to dial a phone number with these area codes from outside France, you would have to dial first the exit code, then France’s country code 33. 

For example, if you want to dial a phone number in Paris, this would be an example of a phone number: +33 1 bb bb bb bb or 0033 1 bb bb bb bb, and 011 33 1 bb bb bb bb if calling from the United States.

France’s mobile phone numbers are operated by the four largest local mobile phone companies – Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom and Free Mobile.

The mobile phone codes in France are 06 and 07. 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 France’s country code “33”, plus the 9 digit phone number including mobile code “6”or “7”, but without the digit “0” (zero).

For example, enter 011 33 6 bb bb bb bb or +33 6 bb bb bb bb if calling from the United States.
