What is the Phone Number Format in France?

Most phone numbers in France are written in the following formats:

   Prefix: long distance or international
   --------------------------------------
   |   Carrier or area code 
   |   --------------------
   |   |   Subscriber number
   |   |   -----------------
   v   v   v
   0   A   SS SS SS SS  - Local format
  +33  A   SS SS SS SS  - International format

Most telephone numbers in France have 9 digits and are written in the format of "A SS SS SS SS". Here are some examples: 1 70 36 39 50; 1 48 16 63 83.

When dialing locally inside France, the long distance prefix of "0" is required. So the format becomes "0 A SS SS SS SS".

When dialing from outside of France, the international dial-in prefix "+33" is required. So the format becomes "+33 A SS SS SS SS".

When dialing from France to other countries, the international dail-out prefix "+" or "00" required.
