2. Dial 011, the international access code.

3. Dial 370, the Lithuanian country code.

4. Dial the remaining digits. The city code for capital city Vilnius is 2.

Tips & Warnings

• If you're having problems getting through, dial 00 for the international operator and ask him or her to place the call.
• 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 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.
