How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Belgium

Belgium’s country calling code is +32. From abroad, dial your exit code → 32 → the area code or mobile prefix (omit the domestic 0) → the local number. Inside Belgium, you always dial the full national number with the trunk 0 (e.g., 02…, 03…). International calls placed from Belgium use 00. Belgium has an open plan: big cities have a 1-digit area code (after dropping the 0); smaller cities have 2-digit area codes. Example: Brussels landline +32 2 555 12 12; Charleroi +32 71 123 456.

Mobiles vs landlines: Mobile numbers start with 04xx domestically and appear internationally as +32 4xx xx xx xx (drop the leading 0). Example: 0470 12 34 56 → +32 470 12 34 56. Note that Liège landlines also begin with 04 domestically, but their international form is +32 4… (nine digits total), whereas mobiles are +32 4xx… (ten digits). Mobile number portability has been available in Belgium since 2002, so prefixes show the original allocation only.

What are the city and area codes in Belgium

Dialing tip: Convert (0x…) or (0xx …) to international by dropping the 0 and adding +32 (e.g., (02) → +32 2, (071) → +32 71).

Brussels (Bruxelles/Brussel)	2	+32 2 XXX XX XX
Antwerp (Antwerpen)	3	+32 3 XXX XX XX
Liège (Liège/Luik)	4	+32 4 XXX XX XX (note the distinction from mobile +32 4xx…)

Bruges (Brugge)	50	+32 50 XX XX XX

Hasselt	11	+32 11 XX XX XX

Which mobile prefixes do mobile operators use in Belgium

Dialing tip: Domestic 04xx… becomes +32 4xx… from abroad—there is no trunk “0” in international format. Because MNP is active, the prefix doesn’t guarantee the current carrier; always dial the full number as given.

Mobile Operator	Dialing Prefixes
Proximus	047x and 0460 (e.g., +32 470/471/472…, +32 460…)
BASE (Telenet Group)	048x (e.g., +32 486…)
Orange Belgium	049x (e.g., +32 496…)
