Telephone Numbers In Romania
As of 2002 the area codes are county codes. They are formed by 1 for Bucharest and Ilfov County, and two digits (30-69) for the rest of the country (one area code per county). Depending on the company that operates the ground line, before the county code another digit is used (2 for Romtelecom, 3 for most of the other landline telephony providers: Astral Telecom, RCS&RDS, etc.).
Mobile phone numbers have a two digit code, regardless of the geographical area in which the user resides. The first digit of the code is a seven, and the second one gives the network:72 and 73 for Vodafone; 74 and 75 for Orange; 76 for Cosmote; 77 for RDS DIGI.mobil;78 for Zapp Mobile.
The dialling plan for mobile networks (numbers starting with 07) and new landline operators (numbers starting with 03) is closed; all subscriber numbers must be dialled in full. For landline numbers starting with 02, the dialling plan used to be open; the trunk code and area code could be omitted if the caller was in the same area code as the callee. However, starting May 3, 2008, all landline numbers must be dialled in full.

Famous quotes containing the words telephone and/or numbers:
“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
“Old age equalizes—we are aware that what is happening to us has happened to untold numbers from the beginning of time. When we are young we act as if we were the first young people in the world.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
