Dialing Formats and Number Structure

Belgian geographic numbers consist of a two-digit area code (for smaller exchanges) followed by a seven-digit subscriber number, resulting in a total national significant number (NSN) length of nine digits. For the Veurne area, the local number format is 058 xx xx xx when dialed within Belgium, and +32 58 xx xx xx from abroad. The leading '0' of the area code is only used for domestic calls; it is dropped when dialing from outside Belgium.

  • International call from abroad: +32 58 51 23 45 (replace the leading '0' with +32).
