Telephone numbers in Lithuania

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

Prefixes
Since 1 March 2024, Lithuania uses 0 as a trunk prefix. The former prefix 8, in place since the Soviet times, will continue to be operational until 28 February 2025.

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.

The domestic prefix "8" was replaced with "0" in 2024, despite being planned since 2001. The delay was due to the Soviet-era emergency numbers 01, 02 and 03 which were kept active until 1 April 2022. The old "8" prefix will be deactivated in 2025.

The +7 012 was used as a country calling code until 1993. The 8~10 was used as the international dialing prefix until 2003.
