Questions people ask
Which country has the code +31?
+31 is the dialling code for the Netherlands.

Yes. The plus sign stands for whatever exit code your phone network uses: 00 in the UK and most of the world, 011 in the US and Canada. A mobile phone converts + automatically, so saving numbers as +31 makes them work from any country.
How do I write a phone number from the Netherlands in international format?

What is the exit code in the Netherlands?
To call abroad from a landline in the Netherlands, dial 00, then the country code and number. On a mobile, + works everywhere.
I got a missed call from +31. Should I call back?
Only if you know someone there. Unexpected one-ring calls from abroad are a known scam ("wangiri"): calling back can connect you to a premium-rate line. Search the number first, or paste it into the callmins country-code lookup to see where it's from and whether it's a mobile or landline.
