If you are phoning within Germany add a 0 to the local city code, e.g. for Stuttgart: 0711 + phone number. If you are dialling a number in Stuttgart from within Stuttgart you do not need the local city code.

Telephones, mobile phones and telephone booths

To phone from a public telephone booth you will need EUR 0.10. Most public telephones accept only pre-paid telephone cards, available for EUR 5 or EUR 10. You can also have your own telephone installed in your dormitory room. If you do not have a laptop and internet access for phoning, we recommend that you buy a telephone yourself at the cost of about EUR 25 depending on the model chosen. The Telekom charges around EUR 15 - 40 per month for the connection. Other companies offer similar services at comparable prices. For more information, see www.telespiegel.de. This is in addition to the charges for the individual calls. Alternatively, you can use a mobile phone. There are various contracts or pay-as-you-go offers which you can choose from.
