If you‘re having trouble getting your calls to Romania through, check out these common dialing errors:

International calls that are blocked

Several service providers allow users to block international calling or even use “blocked” as a default. Double check this setting. Cell numbers that don‘t have area codes

Area codes shouldn‘t be added to international cell phone numbers, and further, in most countries, cell phone numbers have a dedicated starting digit not used for landlines.

No trunk code

If you‘re dialing a number starting with zero, drop that first digit. The zero is referred to as a “trunk code” and is used only when calling within certain countries.

Internet phone (VoIP) connections

A few VoIP providers let you forego dialing the 011 exit code before making an international call. If that feature is turned on, however, leave out the 011 U.S. code.
