Telephone numbers in Portugal

Country Code: +351
International Call Prefix: 00
Trunk Prefix: none

Portugal changed to a closed telephone numbering plan in 1999. Previously, the trunk prefix was '0', but this was dropped. The area code, prefixed by the digit '2', was incorporated into the subscriber's number, so that a nine-digit number was used for all calls.
