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.
