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

   Prefix: long distance or international
   --------------------------------------
   |   Carrier or area code 
   |   --------------------
   |   |   Subscriber number
   |   |   -----------------
   v   v   v
       AA  SSS SSSS     - Local format
       AAA SSS SSSS     - Local format
  +39  AA  SSS SSSS     - International format
  +39  AAA SSS SSSS     - International format

Most telephone numbers in Italy have 9, 10 digits and are written in the format of "AA SSS SSSS", "AAA SSS SSSS". Here are some examples: 81 789 6111; 81.751 5471; 338 811 7116; 339 755 0176.

When dialing locally inside Italy, dial the phone number directly as "AA SSS SSSS", "AAA SSS SSSS". Long distance prefix is not needed.

When dialing from outside of Italy, the international dial-in prefix "+39" is required. So the format becomes "+39 AA SSS SSSS", "+39 AAA SSS SSSS".

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