Bulgaria Calling Code FAQ
- What is the calling code for Bulgaria?
- +359. From abroad, dial your exit code (or +), then 359, then the national number. If a Bulgaria number is written domestically with a leading 0, drop that 0 after +359.
- Is it +359 or 359?
- Same code. +359 is the portable form for contacts and mobiles. 359 is what follows an exit code, for example 011 359… from the US.
- Do I drop the leading 0?
- Yes, if the number is written domestically with a leading 0: 0XX… → +359 XX… (drop the 0 after +359).
- How do I call Bulgaria from the US or UK?
- From the US, dial 011 359 XX… (the number without its leading 0). From the UK and most of Europe, dial 00 359 XX… in the same way. On a mobile, you can use +359 XX… instead.
