Italian Phone Number Lookup

Have you ever tried to look up an Italian phone number? Then you probably know it can sometimes be quite a search.
No worries, there are fortunately several convenient ways to do this.
How to Look Up an Italian Phone Number?
Looking up an Italian phone number is actually very simple! You can use Italy’s phone directory for this. This service allows you to search by last name and address (or phone number), just like we do in the Netherlands.
Websites like Pagine Bianche and Pagine Gialle (available only in Italian and German) make it easy to quickly search for both individuals and businesses. For example, you can easily find the number of a restaurant in Naples or the contact details of a company in Turin.
Many Italians still use landlines, so phone numbers from the directory can be very useful for business purposes.
Italy Country Code
Before you start calling, it’s important to know that Italy’s country code is +39. This is essential when calling from abroad. An Italian number looks like this: +39 + local area code + local phone number.
The local codes vary by region. For example, Milan has the code 02, while Rome uses the code 06. So don’t forget to choose the correct area code for the place you want to call!
Mobile Phone Numbers in Italy
In Italy, mobile numbers often start with 3, followed by two digits and then seven digits. A typical mobile number looks like this: +39 (country code) 3XX XXXXXXX. It’s helpful to know that mobile numbers usually don’t have local area codes, making them easy to call from abroad.
