To dial abroad, dial 00, the country code, the are code, the subscriber\'s number and away you go. For calls in Bucharest you need just to dial the subscriber\'s number, while if dialing out of town you need the cuty code too. To call a mobile, you must dial the prefix (07xx), and when calling from a mobile you must dial the city code(which is 021 for Bucharest). All public phones require a Romtelecom phone card, which you can buy at most newsstands. None accept coins.
