Calling to San Marino
- INCLUDE a leading ‘0’ in a phone number in the international call sequence – even with calls from outside San Marino. Do not add a leading ‘0’ to a phone number that does not have one.
- San Marino phone numbers can also be accessed through the Italian phone system through country code +39 and adding ‘0549’ to the local phone number.
- A leading '+' in the phone number means 'dial your country's exit code'.
- Calling from a mobile phone: dial from on the country where you're currently located.
- Calling from a VoIP or satellite phone: dial from on the country where the phone is registered.
San Marino’s country code may be mislabeled:
- Country code 00378 (exit code of ’00’ used in many European, Asian, and African nations followed by San Marino’s country code of ‘378’).
- Country code 011378 (exit code of ‘011’ used in the United States and Canada followed by San Marino’s country code of ‘378’).
When calling to a mislabeled country code, remove the exit code from the call sequence and replace it with the exit code of the country where the call is dialed.
… to a mobile (cellular) phone
Use the same call sequence.
When calling a mobile phone user, dial to the country where the mobile phone is registered, regardless of where the person is roaming.

When calling a VoIP phone user, dial to the country where the VoIP phone is registered, regardless of where the person is roaming.

San Marino does not have a country-specific satellite phone system.
Most satellite phones operate on their country code – calls to these satellite phones follow their call sequence.
