History

Until 1996, San Marino was part of the Italian telephone numbering plan, using the Italian area code 0549.[5] In 1996, the country adopted country code 378, although existing dialing arrangements between San Marino and Italy continued without change.[6] In 1998, as Italy switched to a closed dialing plan, San Marino incorporated the 0549 area code into its subscriber numbers.[7]
