How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Germany

Germany uses an open numbering plan under +49 with a trunk prefix 0 for domestic long-distance and 00 for international calls placed from Germany. From abroad, dial your exit code → 49 → area/mobile code (drop the leading 0) → local number. Example: +49 30… (Berlin), +49 89… (Munich), +49 171… (mobile).

Mobiles vs landlines:

Landlines use geographic area codes of 2–5 digits (after dropping the 0), so total lengths vary. Big cities have short area codes (e.g., Berlin 30, Hamburg 40, Frankfurt 69, Munich 89) and longer local numbers.

Mobiles use 15x / 16x / 17x non-geographic prefixes. Due to mobile number portability, a prefix shows the original operator only. Typical lengths are 10–11 digits after +49.
