Phone numbers in France
To call a French number from abroad, dial: international prefix + 33 + local number without the leading 0.
For example: ++33 247 664 118
All french numbers have 10 digits. The first two digits are:
01 for Parisian region
02 for Northwest
03 for Northeast
04 for Southeast
05 for Southwest
06 for the cellphones
07 for the cellphones since 2010.
08 have special prices (from free to very costly) (Skype numbers start with 08).
09 if they are attached to Voice over IP telephones connected to DSL modems from French DSL providers that integrate such functions.
You cannot drop the first two digits even if your call remains within the same area. The initial '0' may be replaced by some other digit or longer code indicating a choice of long-distance operator. Don't use this unless explicitly told to.
When speaking phone numbers, people will usually group the digits by sets of two. For example, 02 47 66 41 18 will be said as "zero two, forty-seven, sixty-six, forty-one, eighteen" (but in French, of course). The two-digit pair 00 is said as "zero zero", not "double zero". for example if your phone number is 02 47 66 41 18 in France, it would be said as "zéro deux, quarante-sept, soixante-six, quarante et un, dix-huit." If you find it too hard to follow, you may ask the person to say the number digit-by-digit ("chiffre par chiffre"). It would then be "zero, two, four, seven,
six, six, four, one, one, eight" ("zéro, deux, quatre, sept, six, six, quatre, un, un, huit").
