Numbers that start with 0800, 0180 or 0900

0800 numbers are free inside Germany and often can't be reached from abroad. 0180 service numbers have a fixed charge inside Germany and many can't be reached from abroad either.

When to call

Germany has one time zone, Central European Time. The cards below show your time and the time in Berlin.

Clocks go back on 25 October 2026 and forward on 28 March 2027, on the same dates as the rest of the EU, so the time difference can shift by an hour for a few weeks if your country changes on other dates.

Call quality

A browser call needs a steady connection more than a fast one, using roughly half a megabyte to one megabyte of data per minute (an estimate).

• Use Wi-Fi or a good mobile signal.
• Use headphones to avoid echo.
• Switch off a VPN if the audio is choppy or one-way.
• Check the microphone permission if the other person can't hear you.
