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.

Your prepared call stays with you as you complete account setup in the same browser.

Dialing Italy
Dial +39 followed by the complete number. For a landline, keep the opening zero and area code; mobile numbers begin with 3 and do not take a landline area code.
- Mobile numbers: Use +39 and the mobile number beginning with 3. Ordinary mobile numbers have 9 or 10 digits; new assignments use 10. Do not add a landline area code.
- Landline numbers: Keep the opening 0 and area code after +39. They are part of the complete domestic number. Geographic numbers have 6 to 10 digits, with certain ranges allowing 11; do not shorten or pad them to one length.
- Do not automatically remove a starting 0: for Italian landlines it stays after +39, as part of the area code. Keep the area code even for a number in the same city.
