§ The right way to call around Germany. How to make inland calls?

"0" - access to long-distance calls within Germany.

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
