Calling Italy from Germany: what to know

Italy answers on the country code +39, with the capital in Rome and most business concentrated around Rome, Milan and Naples. The working language for business is Italian, and local offices generally keep hours of 9:00 to 13:00, 14:30 to 18:00. Lunch is treated seriously, especially outside Milan.

From Germany the outbound access code is 00, so a manual dial reads 00 then +39 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 Germany and Italy.

Most mobiles in Italy sit on operators such as TIM (Telecom Italia), Vodafone Italia, WindTre. Italy is one of the few countries where the leading 0 in the trunk code is INCLUDED when dialed internationally, '+39 06 …' for Rome (not '+39 6 …').

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