- International Calls To France:
"33" is the international code for "France".
Drop the "0" from the beginning of the 10-digit phone number. In these examples the same number is shown three different ways: - example: 04 94 77 88 99 -- dial 33 494 77 88 99
- example: (33) 04 94 77 88 99 -- dial 33 494 77 88 99
- example: (33) 494 77 88 99 -- dial 33 494 77 88 99
- International Calls From Within France.
Dial "00" for international, followed by the country code and then the number. - Monaco
Monaco is considered a foreign country for telephoning. From within France, dial "00" for international, followed by "377" for Monaco.
The Phone-Number Change
In October 1996, all French phone numbers changed to a 10-digit (internal) system. (Externally, the "33" country-code plus 9 digits.)
- The old 8-digit number is preceded by:
- 01 - for Paris numbers
- 02 - for the northwest of France
- 03 - for the northeast of France
- 04 - for the southeast and Corsica
- 05 - for the southwest of France
New prefix list, for the old numbers starting with the two digits shown (for example: the old number "20 33 44 55" is now "03 20 33 44 55"; international "(33) 3 20 33 44 55". Bold numbers are for the southeast, including the Beyond area. Mobile phone numbers begin with "06"
