Lithuania uses a total of 47 area codes for landline phones, all beginning with 3, 4 or 5. Within same area code, landlines can be dialed without the prefix and the area code. Area codes for mobile numbers begin with 6, corporate or state institution numbers with 7, toll-free, reverse-charge and shared-cost numbers with 8, and premium-rate numbers with 9.

Since 1 March 2024, Lithuania uses "0" as a trunk prefix. The international dialling prefix is "00". Lithuania uses +370 country calling code. During the Soviet occupation and for a period after it, the country used the Soviet numbering: +7 012 area code until 1993; the legacy numbering was used for the national area codes until it was replaced in 2001–2003; the domestic prefix "8" was replaced with "0" in 2024 (and fully deactivated in 2025), despite being planned since 2001. The delay was due to legacy emergency numbers 01, 02 and 03, which were kept active until 1 April 2022. ==National area codes (with prefix)==
