Overview

CLI routes to France

A CLI route to France is a wholesale path that keeps the caller ID you send intact all the way to the handset. CLIRoutes only places CLI-tier traffic on paths that passed CLI test calls on France’s main networks, and removes paths that stop passing.

French CLI routes carry authenticated numbers through operators that apply MAN correctly. Traffic presenting French CLIs only runs on paths where the number is authenticated at origin, which is the only way it displays.

France combines strict telemarketing hours with strong caller authentication. Operators increasingly reject calls whose CLI cannot be authenticated, so verified numbers matter.

Last reviewed

Caller-ID presentation

Since January 2023, professionals making telemarketing calls must present a number from the ARCEP ranges reserved for them: 0162, 0163, 0270, 0271, 0377, 0378, 0424, 0425, 0568, 0569, 0948 and 0949. Mobile numbers may not be used for automated calling systems.

Call authentication

France’s MAN (Mécanisme d’Authentification des Numéros) has applied since October 2024. Calls presenting French fixed or mobile numbers must be authenticated by the originating operator or they are interrupted, and international calls presenting French numbers are blocked unless the caller is roaming.

Caller authentication

French operators authenticate calls presenting French numbers. Calls whose CLI cannot be authenticated may be blocked, which is why we verify the numbers you present.

Bloctel

Consumers can register on the Bloctel opt-out list. Unless there is an existing contract, marketing calls must be scrubbed against it.

Calling hours and frequency

Consumer telemarketing is restricted to weekday hours and to a limited number of contact attempts in a 30-day period.

Calling hours

For consumer telemarketing, calls are limited to weekdays 10am–1pm and 2pm–8pm, with a cap on calls to the same person over a 30-day period.

Dialing & setup

Dialing France correctly

  • Drop the trunk 0: 06 12 34 56 78 becomes +33 6 12 34 56 78.
  • Telemarketing calls to consumers are limited to weekdays 10am–1pm and 2pm–8pm, with a maximum of four calls in 30 days to the same person.
  • Consumer telemarketing has moved to an opt-in model: confirm the current consent requirement with counsel before any campaign.
  • Overseas departments (Réunion, Guadeloupe, Martinique) use separate country-code-style ranges and their own time zones.

Caller ID best practice

Use a French number allocated to you, follow ARCEP’s rules on numbering ranges for automated and marketing calls, and present the same number your customers would recognise.

Troubleshooting

Common SIP errors on France calls

  • 403

    Forbidden

    The call presented a French number without MAN authentication and was interrupted.

  • 404

    Not Found

    The trunk 0 was kept after +33, or the number is not in service.

  • 486

    Busy Here

    The called party is busy. Retry after a pause rather than immediately.

FAQ

France CLI routes: FAQ

Can’t find what you need? Our routing team answers within the hour, around the clock.

Why do French calls with my number get blocked?

French operators authenticate calls presenting French numbers. If the number is not assigned to you or cannot be authenticated, the call may be blocked. Use a verified French DID as your CLI.

Do I need to scrub against Bloctel?

For marketing calls to consumers without an existing contract, yes. Service calls to existing customers are treated differently, but check with your counsel.

Which numbers can telemarketers present in France?

Only numbers from the ARCEP telemarketing ranges (0162, 0163, 0270, 0271, 0377, 0378, 0424, 0425, 0568, 0569, 0948, 0949). Service calls can use ordinary numbers you hold.

What is the MAN mechanism?

It is France’s caller authentication system, similar in purpose to STIR/SHAKEN. Calls with French CLIs that are not authenticated by the originating operator are cut off before they ring.

When can I call French consumers?

For telemarketing, weekdays 10am–1pm and 2pm–8pm only, never weekends or public holidays, and no more than four calls in 30 days to the same person.

Which caller ID can I present on France calls?

Only numbers you own or are authorised to use. Use a French number allocated to you, follow ARCEP’s rules on numbering ranges for automated and marketing calls, and present the same number your customers would recognise.
