§ The right way to call around Germany. How to make inland calls?
For calling around Germany, first dial "0" (zero) - this is for the domestic long-distance call (DLD), then the city code and the telephone number itself. For intracity calls, you don’t have to tap "0" (zero) and the code of this city. For example: you want to call your friend by 12-34-123 in Hamburg, Germany, so dial as follows:
- Call from another city (DLD): 0 40 12 34 123
- Call within the city (Intracity call): 12 34 123
§ The right way to call from Germany to other countries
For calling from Germany to another country, first tap “00” (two zeros) - this is for the international long-distance call (ILD), then the country code, the city code and the telephone number itself. For example, you want to call London, UK, from Germany by 12-34-123, so dial as follows:
- Call from Germany to London: 00 44 20 12 34 123
§ The right way to call Germany from other countries
For calls from another country to Germany, different rules apply. Usually you have to dial the domestic long-distance (DLD) intercity code first. It may differ depending on the country, for example in United Kingdom it is “00”, then dial the German code “49”, the city code and the phone number itself. Please note: when calling from another country, you don’t have to dial the long-distance access code of Germany. For example, you want to call 12-34-123 from UK to Germany, Hamburg, tap as follows:
- UK call to Germany, Hamburg: 00 49 40 12 34 123
