Be aware that phone numbers aren't always the same number of digits. In the capital city of Tallinn, phone numbers have either six digits (analog numbers) or seven digits (digital numbers) - in which case the first digit will be a 6. Most phone numbers in smaller towns have five digits.

Tips & Warnings
Calling between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. or on weekends will often cost up to 50 percent less than calling during business hours. Call your long-distance carrier to find out which hours are cheapest to call internationally with your long-distance plan.
If you're having problems getting through, dial 00 for the international operator and ask him or her to place the call.
If you're calling from a pay phone, you'll need to have a calling card or charge the call to a credit card - you won't be able to feed the phone with coins fast enough to keep yourself connected. Follow the instructions printed on the phone for placing the call.
