FAQ about French phone numbers
Find clear answers about French numbers and how they work for your UK business.
We offer three types: 0805 toll-free numbers (Numéro Vert) which are free for the caller, 09 national numbers which provide a nationwide presence without being tied to a specific city, and local geographic numbers (01–05) that give you a presence in a specific French city or region.
Yes. France has the strictest telecom regulations in the EU. ARCEP, the French regulator, requires a verifiable French address for all number types — including toll-free. This applies to all operators, not just CallFactory.
Unlike most European countries where toll-free numbers are available to foreign businesses, French regulations mandate a local presence for all number types. ARCEP takes the position that any entity operating French phone numbers must be verifiably established in France. This is the strictest regime in the EU.
Yes. Calls to your French number are forwarded to any destination you choose — a UK landline, a mobile, a VoIP system, or a team of agents through a phone menu. The caller in France experiences a normal domestic call with no noticeable delay.
French numbers are 10 digits, typically displayed in pairs: 01 23 45 67 89. The country code is +33. When dialling from abroad, drop the leading 0, so it becomes +33 1 23 45 67 89.
Since 1 January 2023, French geographic numbers (01–05) are polyvalent. Previously, France had 412 geographic zones and your number was locked to the zone where it was issued — moving even a short distance across a zone boundary meant getting a new number. Under the new rules, a geographic number can follow your business anywhere in France. A 01 number still signals “Paris” to callers, but you can use it from Lyon, Bordeaux, or anywhere else.
Once your French address is verified, most numbers are activated within one business day. The address verification is the main step — once that is in order, activation is fast.
