How to Dial Netherlands from the US
Dial your country's international exit code (011 from the US/Canada, 00 from Europe, or just use + on a mobile)
Dial 31 — the Netherlands' country code
Dial the area code (e.g., 20 for Amsterdam, 10 for Rotterdam) plus the subscriber number, or the mobile number starting with 6 — drop the leading 0
Number Format Examples
Landline (Amsterdam): +31 20 XXX XXXX
Landline (Rotterdam): +31 10 XXX XXXX
Landline (The Hague): +31 70 XXX XXXX
Mobile: +31 6 XXXX XXXX
From US landline: 011 31 6 XXXX XXXX
Common Mistakes
- Drop the leading 0 — Dutch domestic numbers start with 0 (e.g., 020 for Amsterdam, 06 for mobile), but from abroad dial 31 20 or 31 6 directly.
- Mobile numbers always start with 6 after the country code. The full format is +31 6 XXXX XXXX (8 digits after the 6).
- Major cities have 2-digit area codes (Amsterdam 20, Rotterdam 10, The Hague 70, Utrecht 30). Smaller cities use 3-digit codes.
- The Netherlands is sometimes confused with Holland. Holland refers only to two provinces (North and South Holland). When dialing, the country code +31 covers the entire Netherlands.
