Common Questions About Calling Belarus
When should I use + instead of 00?
The + symbol works from any mobile phone anywhere in the world and replaces each country's exit code, so you never need to memorize them. 00 is the most common exit code and works on both landlines and mobiles. On a mobile, always prefer + — it is the most reliable.
Why do I drop the leading 0 of the area or mobile code when calling from abroad?
The leading 0 is a national trunk prefix used only for domestic calls. When calling internationally, the country code +375 takes its place, so you remove that 0 — otherwise the number is wrong and the call fails.
How do I call a mobile versus a landline in Belarus?
For a mobile: dial +375 then the mobile number without its leading 0. For a landline: dial +375, then the city code (without its leading 0), then the local number. Mobile numbers never need a city code.
How do I send a text message (SMS) to Belarus from abroad?
Save the number in international format — +375 then the number without its leading 0 — and send your message as usual. Your carrier may apply international SMS charges.
How can I call Belarus via WhatsApp?
Add the contact in international format — +375 then the number without its leading 0. If they have WhatsApp, they appear automatically. WhatsApp calls run over the internet, are free, and need no exit code.
How much does it cost to call Belarus?
It depends on your carrier and the line type; international calls over the regular phone network can be expensive. To save money, use internet apps like WhatsApp or Viber, or get a local SIM or eSIM.
What does the code +375 mean and where does it come from?

How do I save a Belarus number in the correct international format?
