Calling Belgium from France: what to know

Belgium answers on the country code +32, with the capital in Brussels and most business concentrated around Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent. The working language for business is Dutch, French, German, and local offices generally keep hours of 9:00 to 17:00. Flemish (Dutch) regions and Wallonia (French) have similar schedules but different greeting conventions.

From France the outbound access code is 00, so a manual dial reads 00 then +32 then the local number. StartACall removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between France and Belgium.

Most mobiles in Belgium sit on operators such as Proximus, Orange Belgium, BASE (Telenet). Brussels businesses often answer in French AND Dutch ('Bonjour / Goedemorgen'), using the wrong language first can be a faux pas.

Belgium runs on UTC plus 1, and it shifts for daylight saving, so confirm the current difference before an early or late call.
