Telephone numbers in Monaco are eight digits in length, with fixed line numbers beginning with the digit 9 and mobile phone numbers with the digit 4.

Until 21 June 1996, Monaco formed part of the French numbering plan, with fixed line numbers beginning with 93, but in that year the principality adopted its own country code +377. Consequently, all calls between France and Monaco had to be dialled in international format, including those to and from surrounding areas in France.

Mobile phone operators in at least two other countries, specifically Lonestar Cell in Liberia[1] and Vala in Kosovo,[2] also use the +377 dialing code.

Vala's use of +377 is due to cease on 15 December 2016, however, when Kosovo implements the +383 code.[3]
