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.
Overview
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.
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.
Network services numbers begin with 1, dialed without a prefix. This includes numbers beginning with "11", reserved for emergency and special services, such as:
112 – National emergency number 113 – Non-emergency medical number 116 xxx – Harmonised services of social value 117 – Telecommunication helpline 118 – Directory assistance 119 – Fault registration
As of 2022, numbers beginning with 2 have been allocated for IoT M2M usage and are 12 significant digits in length (for a total of 15 digits, the maximum allowed by E.164) unlike regular numbers which remain 8 digits.
Before 2004, 2 was the prefix used for all area codes.
Prefixes
Since 1 March 2024, Lithuania uses "0" as a trunk prefix.
The international dialling prefix is "00". Lithuania uses +370 country calling code.
During the Soviet occupation and for a period after it, the country used the Soviet numbering: +7 012 area code until 1993; the legacy numbering was used for the national area codes until it was replaced in 2001–2003; the domestic prefix "8" was replaced with "0" in 2024 (and fully deactivated in 2025), despite being planned since 2001. The delay was due to legacy emergency numbers 01, 02 and 03, which were kept active until 1 April 2022.
