About Gibraltar Calling Code
Every country has a unique international dialing prefix; for Gibraltar it is +350. The ITU assigns these codes under recommendation E.164. Dial +350 after your country's exit code, then the local subscriber number. Gibraltar is in Europe.
The first digits of any international number are its E.164 country code. Gibraltar uses +350, in Southern Europe, so a call from anywhere else begins with an exit code, then +350, then the national number with its trunk prefix removed.
Where the +350 Calling Code Is Used
The country code +350 is assigned to Gibraltar, located in Southern Europe, with the capital Gibraltar. This code is part of the international telephony numbering plan and is used for all calls made to Gibraltar from outside the country.
A number displayed as +350 … is in international format: +350 replaces the domestic trunk prefix. From abroad, always drop any leading 0 of the area code and dial +350 + area code + subscriber number.
Calling codes starting with 3 are part of the ITU's regional numbering plan for the area around Gibraltar, in Southern Europe. When saving Gibraltar numbers internationally, write +350 followed by the area code without its leading 0 — this format works from every country.
Gibraltar Phone Number Formats
Numbers in Gibraltar use the standard E.164 pattern — +350, then the area code, then the subscriber number. The same layout applies to landlines and mobile phones:
📱 Number Structure
- International format: +350 [area code] [subscriber number]
- From abroad: exit code + +350 + local number (drop the trunk prefix 0)
- Within Gibraltar: dial the local number directly
Closed numbering plans give every national number the same length; open plans let it vary and rely on a trunk prefix for routing. For a caller outside Gibraltar the distinction rarely matters, because the trunk 0 is dropped either way and +350 is dialed in its place. Gibraltar numbers follows the published pattern +350-XXXXXXX.
