IMPORTANT RULES

Italian Dialing Rules

Key dialing conventions for Italy that affect how you format the number.

Drop the leading 0 from landline numbers

Italian landlines are dialed domestically with a leading 0 (e.g., 02 for Milan). When calling from abroad, omit the 0 and dial only the area code and number. For example, a Milan number (02) 1234 5678 becomes +39 2 1234 5678.

Mobile numbers have no leading 0

Italian mobile numbers start with 3 and are already in the correct format. Dial them with +39 followed by the 10-digit mobile number as-is.

Use +39 or 0039, not 39 alone

Always include the + (plus sign) or 00 prefix when dialing from abroad. Omitting these may result in a domestic call attempt, which will fail.

Landline and mobile rates may vary

Calls to Italian landlines and mobile numbers may have different costs depending on your provider. Check your rate before calling if needed.

POTENTIAL ISSUES

Troubleshooting Calls to Italy

Common issues and what to do if a call fails or does not connect.

Call not connecting

Verify you are using the correct format: +39 followed by the Italian number. Check that you dialed the country code (39) and did not accidentally include a leading 0 for landlines. If the number still fails, confirm with the contact that the number is correct and active.

Poor call quality or disconnections

International calls can be affected by network conditions. Try calling during a time when network traffic is lower (e.g., early morning). If problems persist, restart your browser or device and try again.

High billing or unexpected charges

Sayfone shows the rate (8¢ per minute) before you call. Review the call duration and rate to verify billing accuracy. If you notice unusual charges, contact Sayfone support for clarification.

Wrong number dialed or busy signal

Double-check the Italian number format, especially the area code. Busy signals are normal during peak hours; try calling back later. If you reach a wrong number repeatedly, verify the contact details with your recipient.
