Need to call to Germany from Australia?

This international dialling guide will walk you step-by-step through the correct calling codes (i.e. exit code, country code, etc.) and how to apply that to landlines and mobiles.

How To Call A Landline In Germany

To call from Australia to a landline in Germany, you need to follow a specific dialling format. This involves using the exit code for Australia, the country code for Germany, and the specific area code for the city in Germany you are calling.

STEP 1: Dial the exit code for Australia, which is 0011.

STEP 2: Dial the country code for Germany, which is 49.

STEP 3: Dial the area code for the city in Germany you are calling. For example, the area code for Berlin is 30, for Cologne it’s 221, and for Leipzig, it’s 341.

STEP 4: Dial the specific landline phone number you are calling.

For example, if you are calling a landline in Berlin, the sequence would be: 0011 (exit code) + 49 (country code) + 30 (area code) + landline number.

For example: 0011-49-30-1234-5678 or +49-30-1234-5678 if you are calling from a mobile phone.
