a local or national fixed telephone number
|
Bucharest – Bucharest
021 xxx xx xx or 031 xxx xx xx

|
You dial the whole 10-digit national number (prefix + local number), for all calls to fixed telephone numbers.
|
|
a short number
|
1921 – Romtelecom technical assistance
1931 –
Romtelecom directory enquiry service
|
For the services of national public interest, you dial the number directly.
|
|
0248956 – Arges Gendarmerie
0219361 –TAROM Bucharest Info
|
For the services of local general interest (within the counties), you dial the prefix, followed by the short number.
|
|
|
0219822 – Civil protection
|
To observe the 7-digit format, you need to double the last digit of the numbers which are used in Bucharest and previously had 3 digits, i.e. in the old format.

|
|
a mobile telephone number
|
072x xxx xxx
} Vodafone
073x xxx xxx
074x xxx xxx
} Orange
075x xxx xxx
076x xxx xxx – Cosmote
077x xxx xxx – Digimobil
078x xxx xxx – Telemobil
|
You dial the whole 10-digit whenever you make an on-net or off-net call from a fixed or mobile telephone.
Theoretically, the first digits might give you an indication on whose network are you about to call.
Pay attention! A telephone number may be transferred into another network and keep entirely its form. Details here.

in another country
|
Romania –USA/Florida
00.1.352.xxx.xxxx – a fixed telephone number from Florida, USA
Romania – Italia/Roma
00.39.06.xxx.xx.xxx – a fixed telephone number from Italy (Rome - prefix 06)
|
You dial the international code “00” + the country’s prefix (e.g. “1” for United States of America) + national number (local number and area prefix).
If you call from a cell phone, the international exit code “00” is replaced with “+”.
For international calls, you do not dial the “0” digit anymore, if this is already included in the area prefix (except for the Italian fixed telephone numbers).

from abroad to Romania
|
Italy – Romania/Bucharest
00.40.21.xxx.xxxx
Particular case:
USA – Romania/Bucharest
011.40.21.xxx.xxxx – you dial from USA a number in Romania (Bucharest)
|
You dial the international exit code of the country where you are (in most cases this is “00”) + Romania’s prefix (“40”) + the telephone number except for the first digit (i.e. the last 9 digits).
