Telephone numbers in Andorra facts for kids

Andorra is a small country nestled in the Pyrenees mountains between France and Spain. Like every country, it has its own system for telephone numbers. If you ever need to call someone in Andorra, or if you are visiting and want to use your phone, it is helpful to know how their phone numbers work!

How Phone Numbers Work in Andorra

What Do Andorran Phone Numbers Look Like?

Andorran phone numbers are usually six digits long. This means they have six numbers in a row, like 123456.

• If you are calling a landline phone (a phone that stays in one place, like at a house or office), the number will start with either the digit 8 or 7.
• If you are calling a mobile phone (a phone you can carry with you, like a smartphone), the number will start with the digits 3, 4, or 6.

Andorra's Own Country Code: +376

Every country has a special number called a country code. This code tells the phone system which country you are trying to call. For example, the country code for the United States is +1, and for the United Kingdom, it is +44.

Before 1994, Andorra did not have its own country code. It was part of France's phone system! This meant that if you wanted to call Andorra from another country, you would use the French prefix 0628 before the local number.

But since December 17, 1994, Andorra has had its very own country code: +376. This was an important step for Andorra, showing its independence in the world of telecommunications.

Making International Calls from Andorra

If you are in Andorra and want to call someone in another country, you need to use something called an International Call Prefix. This is a special set of numbers you dial before the country code. In Andorra, the International Call Prefix is 00.

So, if you wanted to call a friend in the United States from Andorra, you would dial: 00 (the international prefix) + 1 (the US country code) + your friend's phone number.

Andorra does not use a trunk prefix. A trunk prefix is a number you sometimes dial before a local number when calling within the same country, but it is not needed in Andorra.
