Calling Germany from the United States explained:

  • 011 - US exit code; dial first for international calls made from the USA or Canada
  • 49 - Country Code for Germany
  • Phone Number (may not begin with 0😞
    • fixed - 5 to 12 digits, including area code
    • cell phones - 10 or 11 digits
  • sample call from US to a landline in Frankfurt: 011 49 69 ???? ????

Texting only works from Canada. If outside Canada or USA (roaming package) texting or any public mobile service for that fact does not work.
