How numbers in Romania are built
A number in Romania is the country code +40 followed by a national number of 6 or 9 digits. The trunk prefix, where there is one, is dropped after the code.
Written locally as 0712 034 567, an example mobile number in Romania is dialed as +40 712 034 567 from abroad.
Leave out the leading 0 when you dial it with the country code.
Why a call to Romania fails to connect
- Keeping the leading 0: after +40 it is one digit too many, and the network rejects the call.
- Leaving out 00 (or +): without it your carrier reads 40 as the start of a number in Italy, not as a country code.
- A wrong number of digits: a number in Romania has 6 or 9 digits after +40.
Best time to call
Romania is 1 h ahead of Italy. When it is 12:00 in Italy, it is 13:00 in Romania.
That gap stays the same all year, because neither country changes its clocks relative to the other.
Italy changes its clocks for daylight saving, so its offset moves between UTC+1 and UTC+2 during the year.
Italy moves its clocks on March 29 and October 25.
Romania changes its clocks for daylight saving, so its offset moves between UTC+2 and UTC+3 during the year.
Romania moves its clocks on March 29 and October 25.
The weekend in Romania is Saturday and Sunday.
