Calling Netherlands: what to know

Netherlands answers on the country code +31, with the capital in Amsterdam and most business concentrated around Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague. The working language for business is Dutch, and local offices generally keep hours of 8:30 to 17:30. Lunch is short (often eaten at the desk), calls between 12:00 to 13:00 still go through.

Outbound calls on StartACall need no phone number and no app. You place them from the browser, and you only add a US or Canada number when you also want to receive inbound calls.

Most mobiles in Netherlands sit on operators such as KPN, Vodafone NL, T-Mobile NL (Odido). Dutch business culture rewards direct, brief calls, small talk is minimal and over-formal greetings can be off-putting.

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