Country Dialing Guide

Monaco country code +377 — call Monaco & get a number.

Entirely surrounded by France, sharing its currency and language — but phone-wise, Monaco has been strictly separate since June 21, 1996, when it broke away from France's own numbering plan. Even calls across the few-kilometer border must be dialed in full international format. Here's exactly how to dial in from the US, UK and France, the current emergency number, time and weather, and how to get a Monaco number of your own with MCM.

02The basics

What is the country code for Monaco?

Monaco dials in on +377, its own country code, entirely separate from France's +33 despite being completely surrounded by French territory. The plan behind it is simple: a closed eight-digit system with no area code and no trunk prefix, in place since Monaco split from France's numbering plan on June 21, 1996 (before that, Monégasque fixed lines simply began with French area code "93"). Whether you're reaching Monaco from next door in Nice or from New York, it's the same eight digits every time.

Monaco numbers in E.164 form are written +377 followed by 8 digits (e.g. +377 9X XX XX XX).

+37700377011 37700 377

All four mean the same thing — they connect your call to Monaco.

03Dialing format

How to call Monaco from anywhere

Calling Monaco is a two-step affair plus your exit code: exit code, 377, then the eight digits. Nothing to drop, nothing to prepend — the flat plan means the number you were given is the number you dial.

06Mobile networks

Monaco mobile network prefixes

The prefix after +377 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.

*T

**Monaco Telecom** (dominant operator)

historically linked to Monaco's government; full mobile and fixed coverage across the principality.

07Time zone

Monaco time zone

Monaco observes Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter, shifting to Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) during the EU-aligned daylight saving period — identical to France's own time zone, meaning no time adjustment is needed between the two countries despite their separate phone systems.

New York (EST/EDT)
Monaco is 6 hours ahead, year-round
Los Angeles (PST/PDT)
Monaco is 9 hours ahead, year-round
London (GMT/BST)
Monaco is 1 hour ahead, year-round
Paris (CET/CEST)
Monaco matches the same hour, year-round
Best call windows

From the US East Coast, mid-morning through early afternoon ET reaches Monaco's business day, given the steady 6-hour gap. From the UK, add just an hour to your own clock — Monaco's working day runs almost identically to London's, just an hour ahead. From France, no time adjustment is needed at all.

Common mistakes when calling Monaco

Almost every failed international call is a formatting issue, not a network issue.

Assuming Monaco uses France's +33 code

it split away from France's own numbering plan on June 21, 1996 — Monaco has used its own +377 code ever since.

Skipping the international dialing format for France-Monaco calls

despite sharing a land border, calls between France and Monaco must be dialed in full international format on both sides.

Hunting for an area code

the numbering plan is flat — eight digits, no area code, no trunk prefix.

Assuming Monaco shares France's telecom regulator

Monaco maintains its own independent regulatory framework, separate from France's, reflecting its full sovereignty.

Expecting a different time zone from France

Monaco keeps the identical CET/CEST clock as France — no time adjustment needed between the two.

Tips to reduce the cost of calling Monaco

Move +377 calls onto VoIP and leave carrier international tariffs behind

Keep a Monaco virtual number so contacts dial you locally instead of paying international rates.
