Other useful information to know

If you have a landline from a Georgian operator and wish to call within Georgian territory, there are two things to know:

Local call: to call within Georgia, simply dial the number directly, without entering the Georgian international country code, that is "995".

International call: dial Georgia's exit code, which is "8", then enter the country code of your correspondent's country.

To call from one landline to another landline, Georgia from France, dial "00 995" followed by the area code, then your correspondent's number.

If you are in the same area, simply dial your correspondent's number.

To call France from Georgia, from one landline to another, dial "00 33" followed by your correspondent's number, avoiding the initial 0. However, it is essential to call from a landline set up to make international calls.

Typically, hotels are equipped with such phones.

For a call from a mobile, the Georgian number, with its area code, must be preceded by 5 (for mobile) or 0 (for landline).

Be careful, however, to ensure you dial the correct area code when calling between Georgian cities:
