Calling Belgium: 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.

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 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.
