Technical info on Belgium phone numbers
- Country code: The country code for Belgium is +32. To dial a Belgian number from abroad, you must first dial the international access code (e.g., 00 or 011), then the country code (32), and finally, the local number.
- Area codes: Belgian phone numbers are assigned to specific geographic areas, and each area has its own code. These area codes are typically 1 to 2 digits long, and they are dialed after the country code. For example, the area code for Brussels is 2, while the area code for Antwerp is 3.
- Local numbers: Local phone numbers in Belgium are typically 6 to 7 digits long, and they follow the area code. The combination of the area code and local number results in a complete phone number that is 8 to 9 digits in length.
- Mobile phone numbers: Mobile phone numbers in Belgium usually begin with a 4 followed by 8 digits, making them 9 digits long. For example, a mobile phone number might look like 047X XXX XXX.
- Formatting: In Belgium, phone numbers are often written with spaces to separate groups of digits for easier readability. For example, a landline number might be written as 02 XXX XX XX, and a mobile number might be written as 047X XXX XXX.
- Special numbers: Belgium has special numbers for various services. For example, emergency numbers like 100 (medical and fire) and 101 (police) are shorter than typical phone numbers.
- Dialing within Belgium: When dialing a local number within Belgium, you don't need to use the country code. Instead, simply dial the area code followed by the local number. For example, to call a Brussels number, you would dial 02 followed by the 6 or 7-digit local number.
- Number portability: In Belgium, phone numbers are portable between landline and mobile networks. This means that a person can keep their phone number when they switch between service providers or from a landline to a mobile phone.
