Telecommunications

Emergency phone number
Dial 112 for calling Police, Ambulance Service or Fire Department. This number is available across the entire country and most call center operators speak English and French.

Landline phones
In order to use the pay phones that are available in the street, at the Post Office etc,. you have to buy a phone card from the newsstands or shops that display the message “Avem cartele RomTelecom.”

For national calls, you must use the code that is assigned to the locality you want to call. All the localities in a county have the same code.

Mehedinti    0252
Caras          0255
Timis          0256
Bucharest    021
Arad           0257

For local calls, you dial the desired phone number directly (e.g. if you find yourself in Timisoara and you want to call someone who is in the same city and has the phone number 221 472, then you dial this number).

For international calls, you dial the country code, the area code and then the desired phone number (e.g. 00381 is a phone number from Serbia)

If you call to Romania from abroad, you must first dial the country code (0040), then the area code (e.g. 256 for Timis County) and, finally, the phone number (e.g. 0040 256 331 272 is a number from Timisoara).

Mobile phones
