How to Call Frankfurt, Germany

Calling Germany is easy

If you are in the United States and want to call someone in Frankfurt, Germany, you'll need to dial the international number correctly. Making an overseas call might seem a bit daunting, but it only involves a couple more steps than making a domestic call. Dialing an international phone number requires an exit code to call outside the U.S., a country code and an area code.

Instructions

1. Enter 011, the U.S. exit code.

2. Enter 49, the country code for Germany.

3. Enter 69, the Frankfurt area code.

4. Enter the local phone number.

Tips & Warnings

• If the local phone number starts with zero, ignore that and enter the number that follows it. The zero is the trunk code, and applies only to calls made within Germany. To call a cell phone in Frankfurt, dial "011 49 1," followed by the area code and the cell phone number.
