Learn how to call the Czech Republic from the US with the correct country code (+420), step-by-step dialing instructions, and DialLink’s smart features.
Let’s say you’re about to connect with a supplier in Prague or follow up with a remote team member in Brno. You pull out your phone — and pause. What’s the correct format to dial a number in the Czech Republic from the US?
If you’re a small business or startup navigating international communications, this guide is for you. Whether you’re managing distributed teams, coordinating with partners, or expanding your European customer base, we’ll show you how to make high-quality calls to the Czech Republic without draining your budget.
The Czech Republic country code is +420. Anytime you’re dialing a number there from the US, you’ll need to include this code after the international exit code (011). It tells the global phone network that your call is headed to the Czech Republic.
Here’s how to dial a Czech phone number correctly from the United States:
Example: If the number is 234 567 890, you would dial: 011-420-234-567-890.
Example: If the mobile number is 777 123 456, you would dial: 011-420-777-123-456. Or on mobile: +420-777-123-456.
If you’re using a smartphone, long-pressing the 0 key gives you the “+” sign, which acts as a substitute for the international exit code (011).
Below are some commonly used landline area codes in the Czech Republic:
Area Code | City/Region |
---|---|
2 | Prague |
35 | Plzeň (Pilsen) |
38 | České Budějovice |
41 | Ústí nad Labem |
46 | Pardubice |
48 | Liberec |
49 | Hradec Králové |
51 | Brno |
55 | Ostrava |
58 | Olomouc |
Startups and small businesses reach out to the Czech Republic for plenty of reasons:
Time zone tip: The Czech Republic is typically 6–9 hours ahead of US time zones. Be sure to plan your calls accordingly.
Calling rates vary depending on your provider. Traditional telecoms can charge $0.50 to $1.00 per minute, which quickly adds up for recurring conversations or long meetings.
DialLink gives you a smarter, more predictable option with low per-minute rates and transparent billing — no hidden fees. Check our international calling rates here.

With DialLink, you get:
Dial 011 (US exit code), then 420 (Czech Republic country code), followed by the 9-digit local phone number. For mobile, the phone number often starts with 6 or 7. Example: 011-420-777-123-456.
The most cost-effective way is to use a cloud phone system like DialLink, which offers affordable international per-minute rates.
The country code is +420.
When dialing internationally, add “011” (or use “+”) before the country code. To call the Czech Republic, dial 011 (or +), then 420, and then the 9-digit number.
