How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Portugal

Portugal’s country calling code is +351, and Portugal uses a closed 9-digit numbering plan. In practical terms, that means you normally dial all 9 digits for Portuguese numbers, whether they’re landlines or mobiles. A common point of confusion is adding a leading 0—Portugal doesn’t use a national trunk “0” for dialing geographic areas, so you don’t add any extra domestic prefix before the area code.

For Portuguese landlines, geographic numbers typically start with 2 (and then a regional/city prefix like 21 for Lisbon or 22 for Porto). For Portuguese mobiles, numbers typically start with 9 (often 91/92/93/96 ranges). If you’re calling Portugal from abroad, dial your international exit code (or +), then 351, then the full 9-digit number (e.g., +351 21 XXX XXXX for a Lisbon landline or +351 9X XXX XXXX for a mobile). If you’re calling within Portugal, you still dial the full 9 digits exactly as written (no extra “0” for long distance).

Which mobile prefixes do mobile operators use in Portugal

Dialing tip: Portugal supports number portability (“portabilidade”), so a mobile starting with 91/92/93/96 may not reflect the customer’s current operator. When switching providers, you’ll often be asked for a CVP (Portability Validation Code).

Mobile Operator	Dialing Prefixes
MEO	Commonly 96, also 92 ranges
Vodafone Portugal	Commonly 91
NOS	Commonly 93
DIGI Portugal	Mobile numbers in 9X mobile ranges (Portugal’s 4th operator; exact issued prefixes can vary)
MVNOs (examples: WOO, UZO, Lycamobile, NOWO, etc.)	Issued within Portuguese mobile 9X ranges; depends on provider/allocations
