These are available at all post offices in denominations of five and ten euros. When calling Germany from abroad, use the country code +49 and drop the first 0 in the telephone number. When calling abroad from inside Germany, dial 00 and then the country code. For long-distance calls, keep in mind that Germany is one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT);so it is one hour ahead of London, six hours ahead of New York and eight hours behind Sydney.
Telephone numbers and prefixes within Germany vary in length and can range from four to eight or more digits.
Public pay phones are not common, but they are usually available in larger cities. They may be operated either with coins or a calling card. Calling cards can be purchased at post offices, banks, kiosks and tourist offices.
Calling a mobile phone is generally significantly more expensive that calling a landline.
