Common Mistakes
When calling Andorra, avoid these common mistakes that can prevent your call from connecting:
1. Forgetting to drop the leading zero
If you have an Andorran number starting with 0, remove it when dialing internationally. Andorran local numbers don't actually use leading zeros, but if you encounter one, drop it and dial only the 6-digit number after +376.
2. Using the wrong exit code
Each country has a different exit code (011 from the US/Canada, 00 from most European countries). Verify your country's exit code before dialing, or simply use the + symbol which works universally on mobile phones.
3. Confusing the country code with an area code
Andorra has no area codes. After dialing +376, proceed directly with the 6-digit local number. Don't add extra digits thinking you need an area code.
4. Adding unnecessary spaces or hyphens
While formatting like +376 123 456 helps readability, when actually dialing, these spaces don't matter. However, ensure you're not accidentally adding extra digits when copying formatted numbers.
5. Not checking if it's a mobile or landline
Andorran mobile numbers start with specific prefixes (3, 4, 6). Know which type you're calling as rates may differ.
Cultural Etiquette
When making phone calls in Andorra, understanding local customs helps ensure smooth communication. The country's blend of Catalan, Spanish, and French influences shapes its telephone etiquette.
Greetings and Language
Answer calls with "Hola" or "Bon dia" (good day in Catalan). In business contexts, state your name immediately after greeting. While Catalan is the official language, Spanish and French are widely understood, so don't hesitate to ask which language is most comfortable.
Formality Levels
Business calls require formality. Use titles like "Senyor" (Mr.) or "Senyora" (Mrs.) until invited to use first names. Personal calls among acquaintances can be more relaxed, though initial politeness is always appreciated.
Timing Considerations
Avoid calling during lunch hours (1:00-3:00 PM), as this is sacred family time. Business calls work best between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM or 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM on weekdays. Evening calls after 9:00 PM should be reserved for close friends only.
Voicemail Practices
Leave clear, concise messages including your name, reason for calling, and contact information. Many Andorrans prefer direct conversation, so expect return calls rather than voicemail exchanges.
Cultural Considerations
Andorrans value efficiency but not abruptness. Brief small talk before business matters shows respect. Speaking too loudly is considered rude, so maintain a moderate, pleasant tone throughout your conversation.

Tips for Calling Andorra
When calling Andorra (UTC+1, UTC+2 during daylight saving time), timing matters for successful connections. For international calls, aim for mid-morning to early afternoon Andorran time, typically between 10 AM and 2 PM, when businesses are most responsive.
Standard business hours run Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM, with a traditional lunch break from 1 PM to 3 PM in some establishments. Avoid calling during this midday window for better response rates. Weekends and public holidays like Constitution Day (March 14) and Our Lady of Meritxell (September 8) mean closed offices.
For business calls, scheduling appointments in advance is highly recommended—Andorrans appreciate punctuality and planning. This ensures availability and demonstrates professionalism.
Consider off-peak calling rates from your provider, usually evenings and weekends, though these times may be less convenient for reaching businesses.
For clear communication, speak slowly and confirm important details. While Catalan is the official language, Spanish, French, and English are commonly understood in business settings. Always confirm which language your contact prefers before diving into complex discussions. Check time zone differences carefully when scheduling to avoid inconvenient early morning or late evening calls.
