History
Until 1996, San Marino was part of the
Italian telephone numbering plan, using the Italian area code 0549. However, in that year, it adopted its own country code +378, although dialing arrangements between San Marino and Italy continued as before. In 1998, as Italy switched to a
closed dialing plan, San Marino incorporated the 0549 area code into its subscribers' numbers.
The following numbers are equivalent:
* "0549 xxx xxx": from Italy
* "+378 xxx xxx": from rest of the world
* "+39 0549 xxx xxx": from rest of the world, using the Italian country code
* "+378 0549 xxx xxx": from rest of the world, using the San Marino country code and the Italian area code
Previously, the country code +295 had been allocated to San Marino by the
