Calling Germany — Things to Know

• WhatsApp is extremely popular in Germany — over 80% of smartphone users have it. For reaching someone with a smartphone, WhatsApp calls are free. For landlines or business numbers, you need an actual calling service.
• Germany uses CET (Central European Time, UTC+1) year-round, switching to CEST (UTC+2) from late March to late October. The US and Germany don't always switch daylight saving at the same time, so the time difference varies by 1 hour for a few weeks in spring and fall.
• German landline rates are usually cheaper than mobile rates. If you're calling a business or office, look up their landline number to save money.
• Germany has strict privacy laws (GDPR was largely shaped by German data protection culture). If you're making business calls, be aware that recording without consent is illegal.
• BubblyPhone bills per second, not per minute. For short calls — checking in, leaving a quick message — this saves you real money compared to carriers that round up to the nearest minute.
• Major German holidays like Christmas (Dec 25-26), Easter, and German Unity Day (Oct 3) may affect when people are available. Business hours are typically 8 AM–5 PM, Monday–Friday.
