Several routes connect you to Albania (+355) landlines, calling cards and modern VoIP services. Pick the one that fits your call volume and budget.
Dial your exit code (00 from most countries, or 011 from North America), enter +355, then the local Albania number — dropping any leading 0. Albania's 3-digit country code puts it in ITU Zone 3 of the global E.164 numbering plan.
Albania falls in ITU Zone 3 (Europe). Card rates to Tirana are generally moderate — compare landline vs mobile tariffs before activating. Factor in the Europe/Tirane time zone when planning the call.
Apps like Skype, WhatsApp and Viber, and business VoIP from TKOS are the cheapest route to Albania (+355) — Europe routes over European and Atlantic fibre links — latency is typically under 100 ms on broadband.
The cost of calling Albania varies depending on the method and service provider you choose. Compare landline, VoIP and calling-card routes side by side.

A complete international number is built from four parts. Here's the anatomy and the dialling order.
Number anatomy
Format follows ITU-T Recommendation E.164 the international public telecommunication numbering plan.
Press + on a mobile (hold the 0 key), or dial 00 from most countries / 011 from North America.
Dial +355. This identifies Albania on the global telephone network.
Type the first part of the local number. Drop the leading 0 if there is one.
The remaining digits route the call to the specific line in Tirana or elsewhere.

Whether you're reaching Albania for business or family, three habits keep every conversation crystal clear and a clean route from TKOS handles the rest.
European routes to Albania support G.722 wideband audio on most carriers — a quality HD headset lets you hear the full difference on these low-latency links.

Albania +355
When selecting an international calling service for Albania, four factors separate the durable providers from the noise. Look for a proven track record on each.
Verify direct EU peering to Albania — not routing +355 traffic through non-Europe hubs.
EU carriers publish uptime records — ask for 12 months of SLA compliance on Albania routes before signing.
Confirm coverage for Europe/Tirane hours — a Tirana route issue at 09:00 needs a human response, not a next-day ticket.
EU routing compresses Albania costs — any premium over +355 published carrier rates needs justification.
