Lithuania Country Code + International Calling Guide

📲 How to Call Lithuania from Abroad

Follow these 4 simple steps to dial any phone number in Lithuania:

1. 1
   Dial your international access code

   Most countries use 00 or +. From mobile phones, the + symbol works worldwide.

2. 2
   Dial Lithuania's country code: +370

   Dial +370 immediately after the international access code. Do not include the + again if you already used 00.

3. 3
   Dial the city or area code
