The French telephone numbering plan is used in Metropolitan France, French overseas departments and some overseas collectivities.
Since 1996, France uses a ten-digit closed numbering plan, where the first two digits denote a geographic area, mobile or non-geographic number.
01 Île-de-France
02 Northwest France
03 Northeast France
04 Southeast France
05 Southwest France
06 Mobile phone services
07 Mobile phone services
08 Special phone numbers: Freephone (numéro vert) and shared-cost services.
09 Non-geographic number (used by Voice over IP services)All geographic numbers are dialed in the ten-digit format, even for local calls. The international access code is the International Telecommunication Union's recommended 00.When calling France from abroad, the leading zero should be omitted: for example, to call a number in Southwest France, one would dial +33 5 xx xx xx xx.
French people usually state phone numbers as a sequence of five double-digit numbers, e.g., 0x xx xx xx xx (and not, for example, 0 xxx-xxx-xxx or 0xxx-xx-xxxx or 0xx-xxx-xxxx).
