Lithuania uses an open telephone numbering plan with all phone numbers having nine digits, including the prefix "0", a 1–3 digit area code, and a 5–7 digit subscriber telephone number.
Lithuania uses a total of 47 area codes for landline phones, all beginning with 3, 4 or 5. Within same area code, landlines can be dialed without the prefix and the area code.[1]
Area codes for mobile numbers begin with 6, corporate or state institution numbers with 7, toll-free, reverse-charge and shared-cost numbers with 8, and premium-rate numbers with 9.[1]
Network services numbers begin with "1", dialed without a prefix. This includes numbers beginning with "11", reserved for emergency and special services, such as:
Since 1 March 2024, Lithuania uses 0 as a trunk prefix.[2] The former prefix 8, in place since the Soviet times, will continue to be operational until 28 February 2025.[2]
The international dialling prefix is "0". Lithuania uses +370 country calling code.
Soviet numbering was used during the Soviet occupation and until 2001-2003, when the current numbering plan was introduced, replacing Soviet-legacy area codes and altering some subscriber numbers.[3]
The domestic prefix "8" was replaced with "0" in 2024, despite being planned since 2001.[2][4] The delay was due to the Soviet-era emergency numbers 01, 02 and 03 which were kept active until 1 April 2022.[5] The old "8" prefix will be deactivated in 2025.[4]
The +7 012 was used as a country calling code until 1993."World Telephone Numbering Guide". The 8~10 was used as the international dialing prefix until 2003.[citation needed]
