The telephone country code for Malta is +356.
Here’s how it works:
- +: This symbol indicates that you should dial an international exit code (sometimes called a “dialing prefix”) depending on where you’re calling from. For example, in the United States and Canada, you’d dial 011 before the country code. In most European countries, you would use 00.
- 356: This is the specific country code for Malta. Every country has its own unique code, which allows phone networks to route the call to the right destination.
For example, if you were calling a Maltese phone number from the U.S., you would dial:
011 + 356 + [local number]
The +356 ensures the call is routed to Malta, and the local number is the one you wish to reach within the country.
Malta is a small island nation in the Mediterranean, and it follows the standard international phone system, making it easy for people worldwide to connect with businesses or individuals in the country.
