What each type means for the caller
- Toll-free: 800 or 803
- Free to the caller, usually only from inside the country; the business that owns the number pays for the call. 6 or 9 digits after +39.
- Premium rate: 0878, 144, 163, 164, 166, 892, 8930, 8934, 8938, 894, 895 or 899
- Charged above a normal call at a rate set by the service, with part of the charge going to the service provider. 6, 8, 9 or 10 digits after +39.
- Shared cost: 840, 841, 847 or 848
- The caller pays part of the cost and the owner pays the rest, so the price sits between a free and a normal call. 6 or 9 digits after +39.
- Personal number: 178 or 199
- A follow-me number that forwards to whatever phone its owner chooses, so the digits don't reveal the line behind it. 9 or 10 digits after +39.
- VoIP: 55
- Numbers issued for internet telephony services rather than a fixed line or a mobile network. 10 digits after +39.
Writing and dialling a Vatican City toll-free number
Vatican City has no trunk prefix, so the number is the same at home and abroad; in E.164 put +39 in front. Many freephone numbers still only accept calls from inside Vatican City, and a call from abroad that does connect is usually charged.
Toll-free and premium numbers in a phone list
In a lead or customer list, a toll-free number usually reaches a company line rather than a person, and a premium-rate number costs you money to call. The free toll-free number checker flags them in a pasted list or CSV, and the Vatican City phone number format page covers mobiles and landlines.

- Ranges, lengths and examples: Google libphonenumber numbering-plan data (libphonenumber-js 1.13.15), the data our validator uses.
- Official plan: ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan for Italy, which covers Vatican City. The regulator’s filing is the authority when the two disagree.
The numbering plan only knows what a range was issued for.
In the US and Canada mobiles and landlines share the same prefixes, and anywhere a number can be ported or reassigned the range stops telling the whole story. A live carrier lookup asks the network data instead, which is what Pro + Phone ($49.99/mo) adds.
