Several routes connect you to Romania (+40) 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 +40, then the local Romania number — dropping any leading 0. Romania's 2-digit country code puts it in ITU Zone 4 of the global E.164 numbering plan.
Romania falls in ITU Zone 4 (Europe). Card rates to Bucharest are generally moderate — compare landline vs mobile tariffs before activating. Factor in the Europe/Bucharest time zone when planning the call.
Apps like Skype, WhatsApp and Viber, and business VoIP from TKOS are the cheapest route to Romania (+40) — Europe routes over European and Atlantic fibre links — latency is typically under 100 ms on broadband.
The cost of calling Romania varies depending on the method and service provider you choose. Compare landline, VoIP and calling-card routes side by side.
VoIP · overview
Cheapest route to Romania — internet-based.
Choose TKOS for business-grade calls to Romania, or consumer apps like Skype, WhatsApp or Viber for casual chats.
Sign up with an email or phone number, then verify your identity if required.
App-to-app calls are usually free; calls to mobile/landline numbers need a small balance or a subscription plan.
Enter +40 followed by the Romania subscriber number (drop any leading 0).
VoIP works on phones, laptops, tablets and desk phones wherever you have internet.
If audio drops, try switching from cellular to Wi-Fi or move closer to your router.

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 +40. This identifies Romania 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 Bucharest or elsewhere.

TKOS provisions +40 DIDs and termination through direct carrier interconnects.
Whether you're reaching Romania for business or family, three habits keep every conversation crystal clear and a clean route from TKOS handles the rest.
European routes to Romania support G.722 wideband audio on most carriers — a quality HD headset lets you hear the full difference on these low-latency links.
Romania (Europe/Bucharest) routes stay under 100ms on broadband — Wi-Fi is fine for most calls, but switching to ethernet eliminates the last source of packet loss.
Schedule Romania calls during Bucharest business hours — 09:00–17:00 Europe/Bucharest — your contact will be at their desk in a quiet space rather than taking the call on the move.
Built on top of every Romania (+40) route quality, price, and people you can reach.
TKOS terminates Romania calls via EU-peered carrier interconnects. Sub-80ms latency across Europe, G.722 wideband audio on every call.
EU routing agreements compress Romania termination costs — TKOS passes those savings to you directly. Transparent per-minute rates for Romania (+40), no hidden fees.
Your account manager covers Europe/Bucharest hours for Romania. Phone, email, and live chat — always online for Bucharest routes, day or night.

Romania +40
When selecting an international calling service for Romania, four factors separate the durable providers from the noise. Look for a proven track record on each.
Verify direct EU peering to Romania — not routing +40 traffic through non-Europe hubs.
EU carriers publish uptime records — ask for 12 months of SLA compliance on Romania routes before signing.
Confirm coverage for Europe/Bucharest hours — a Bucharest route issue at 09:00 needs a human response, not a next-day ticket.
EU routing compresses Romania costs — any premium over +40 published carrier rates needs justification.
