Dial Latvia directly through your phone carrier using country code 371 — convenient, but international rates can add up fast.
Prepaid calling cards let you reach Latvia at lower rates, though you'll juggle access numbers and PINs each time.
MeraTalk connects you to Latvia over the internet with HD-clear audio, low rates, and no hardware to set up.
Dial 011, then 371, then the number in full — nothing is dropped.
On a mobile you can replace the exit code with a + sign and dial +371 directly, which works from any country without knowing the local exit code.
Full dialing sequence
Start by dialing your own country's international access code. From the US or Canada this is 011; from most of Europe it's 00. This tells your network you're making an international call.
Immediately follow with Latvia's country code — no spaces or dashes. This routes your call to Latvia's telephone network. On smartphones, replace the exit code with a + sign.
Latvia has no trunk prefix, so there is nothing to drop. Dial the number exactly as it is written — the same digits are used at home and from abroad. Latvian mobile numbers begin 2 and are eight digits — there is no area code.
Enter all remaining digits of the local number exactly as written. For mobile numbers, include every digit — no abbreviations. Press call and your carrier does the rest.
A strong, stable internet connection is the foundation of every clear call — use Wi-Fi or solid data whenever you can.
A quality headset sharpens both ends of the conversation, making your calls to Latvia clearer and more comfortable.
Keep the time difference in mind — UTC+2 to UTC+3 — so you reach people at a reasonable hour and not in the middle of the night.
The price of calling Latvia swings widely depending on whether you use a carrier, a calling card, or VoIP — and VoIP usually wins.
How to get started with MeraTalk
Phone numbers in Latvia follow set ranges after the 371 country code, distinguishing mobiles, landlines, and special services.
No. Latvia has no dialable area codes and no trunk prefix. Every number is eight digits, dialled the same way inside the country and from abroad — just add +371.
The first digit tells you the line type:
Landline blocks are allocated by district — 6 30 for Jelgava, 6 34 for Liepāja and so on — but those digits sit inside the eight-digit number rather than forming a code you dial separately. Latvia prepended the 6 to every landline and the 2 to every mobile in 2008.
Latvia is identified by different codes depending on context:
Only +371 is a dialling code. LV, LVA and 428 identify the country in data and documents, not on the phone.
