How numbers in Tunisia are built
A number in Tunisia is the country code +216 followed by a national number of 8 digits. The trunk prefix, where there is one, is dropped after the code.
Written locally as 20 123 456, an example mobile number in Tunisia is dialed as +216 20 123 456 from abroad.
There's no leading digit to leave out: dial the full local number after the country code.
Why a call to Tunisia fails to connect
- Leaving out 00 (or +): without it your carrier reads 216 as the start of a number in France, not as a country code.
- A wrong number of digits: a number in Tunisia has 8 digits after +216.
Best time to call

That gap moves between 0 h and 1 h during the year, because one of the two countries changes its clocks for daylight saving.
France changes its clocks for daylight saving, so its offset moves between UTC+1 and UTC+2 during the year.
France moves its clocks on March 29 and October 25.
