Does the person I call need an app?
No. The recipient answers a normal call on their mobile or landline. They do not need Talkala, an account or an internet connection to receive it.

Dialing Germany
Replace the domestic opening 0 with +49. Keep the area code for a landline or the mobile prefix; German numbers do not all have the same length.
- Mobile numbers: Ordinary mobile numbers have 10 or 11 digits after +49. Keep the mobile prefix: 15, 160, 162, 163 or 17. Domestic 0164, 0168 and 0169 are paging ranges, not ordinary mobile numbers.
- Landline numbers: Include the two- to five-digit area code, without its domestic opening 0, and the complete subscriber number. New geographic numbers normally have 11 digits after +49; individual numbers in Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Munich use 10. Older shorter numbers remain in use, so do not pad a number to one fixed length.
- Remove only the domestic opening 0 when adding +49. Keep the area or mobile prefix and every subscriber digit. For example, Berlin's domestic area prefix 030 becomes +49 30; this is an incomplete prefix, not a phone number.
- Area codes and number length: Berlin: 030; Hamburg: 040; Munich: 089; Frankfurt: 069. These are domestic area codes. Drop only the opening 0 after +49, and keep every digit of the local number. Older, shorter numbers remain in use.
