This may vary by country. Usually you dial the complete area code (including the leading zero) and phone number to dial a number anywhere in the country, even if you are in the same area code. Once in Germany, we were in a town where you only dialed the last four digits of the phone number to call other numbers in that town. If your phone call does not go through when you dial the complete number - area code and phone number - ask the local Tourist Office how to place the call.
