What is country code ‘01133’?

Question: What is country code 01133? I am attempting to call the phone number 01133 1 55 30 xx xx.

Answer: 01133 is the country code for France when dialed from the United States or Canada.

‘011’ is the exit code to call from the U.S. or Canada to the international switchboard. If calling from a different country, this code is different.

’33’ is the country code for France.

To call this number from within France, dial 01 55 30 xx xx. Do not dial the leading ‘011’ or the country code ’33’. Add a leading ‘0’ (trunk prefix) to the number. If calling within Paris from another landline phone, dial 55 30 xx xx (do not include the trunk prefix ‘0’ or the area code ‘1’).

To call this number from the United States or Canada dial ‘011-33-1-55-30-xx-xx’. Do not include any leading ‘0’ (sometimes listed as ’01’ in the phone number).

To call this number from the United Kingdom, Germany, the NetherlandsSpain, Italy, India, or many of the countries with exit code ’00’, dial ’00-33-1-55-30-xx-xx’. These countries use exit code ’00’ instead of ‘011’. Do not include any leading ‘0’ (sometimes listed as ’01’ in the phone number).

To call this number from Australia dial ‘0011-33-1-55-30-xx-xx’. Do not include any leading ‘0’ (sometimes listed as ’01’ in the phone number).

How do I call Germany from France?

Question: I am in Germany and want to call France. The number I have is +33 1 55 37 XX XX. Can you please help?

To call from Germany to France dial the call sequence as follows:

  1. Your country’s exit code – 00 – this is signified by the ‘plus’ symbol.
  2. The destination country code – 33 – this is the country code as it is the number cluster immediately after the ‘+.’
  3. The local phone number – 1 55 37 XX XX – this is the remainder of the phone number.

To call this phone number from Germany, you will need to dial:

00 33 1 55 37 XX XX

This call sequence will work from many European countries. Other countries will have a different exit code (the US and Canada use ‘011’, Australia uses ‘0011’, Japan uses ‘010’, and other countries may use a different sequence).

What country is country code “0033”?

Question: I am calling a country with country with country code “0033” – I do not recognize this number – what country is it? The phone number I was given is “0033 1 51 66 xx xx.”

Answer: The number you are trying to call looks like France. The phone number is likely in Paris.

“00” is an international exit code (the number used to access the international switchboard) for most European countries. If ’00’ is dialed from a country that does not use that as its exit code (the U.S. and Canada use ‘011’, Australia uses ‘0011’, Japan uses ‘010’, many countries of the former U.S.S.R use ‘8’ – wait for the dial tone – ’10’), the call will not work.

“33” is the country code for France. It is the number that is dialed to reach France from the international switchboard.

The remainder of the number appears to be the format for a French phone number. The ‘1’ signifies the area code for Paris within the French numbering system. The remainder of the phone number is separated into eight numbers (two blocks of four digits).
