Phoning To Europe from the US and CanadaTo dial a European phone number from the US or Canada, dial as follows:
For example:
Do I Drop the Leading Zero in the Area Code?Sometimes YES, sometimes NO. Many European countries require that you drop the zero when calling from outside the country. See the World Telephone Numbering Guide for complete information. Why is There a Plus Sign (+) at the Start of the European Phone Number?European phone numbers are frequently written in the format +39-0577-555-555. The plus indicates that you have to dial your long distance code first and then dial the rest of the number when calling from outside the country (in the US the code is 011, in Europe it is 00). Time ChangeContinental Europe is six hours later than the east coast of the United States (EST). For example, at midnight in New York City, it is 6:00 AM in Florence. The United Kingdom is one hour earlier than continental Europe. See The World Clock for complete information.

Usually you dial the complete area code (including the leading zero) and phone number to dial a number anywhere in the country, even if you are in the same area code. Once in Germany, we were in a town where you only dialed the last four digits of the phone number to call other numbers in that town. If your phone call does not go through when you dial the complete number - area code and phone number - ask the local Tourist Office how to place the call. Other Phone Information
