How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in the Netherlands

The Netherlands’ country calling code is +31. Dutch landlines use geographic area codes (typically 2 digits for major cities and 3 digits for smaller regions), while Dutch mobile numbers start with 06 in domestic format. When calling within the Netherlands, you normally dial the national trunk prefix 0 before a geographic area code (for example, Amsterdam is written domestically as 020 …), and mobiles are dialed as 06 ….

When calling the Netherlands from abroad, dial your international exit code (or +), then 31, then the number without the leading 0. That means a landline written as 020 123 4567 becomes +31 20 123 4567, and a mobile written as 06 12345678 becomes +31 6 12345678. Saving contacts in the international +31 format avoids the common “extra 0” mistake and makes numbers work consistently while traveling.

What are the mobile operators in the Netherlands

Dialing tip: In the Netherlands, 06 is the standard mobile prefix, and the digits after 06 are not a reliable way to identify the current operator because you can keep your number when switching providers (“nummerbehoud”).
