What is the Finland country code?
Everything you need to dial a Finland number correctly from a UK phone.
+358
The Finland country code is +358. Dialling from the UK? Use 00358 instead of the + — they do exactly the same thing.
How to dial a Finland number from the UK
Dial 00358 + area code + local number, removing the leading zero. Mobiles: 00358 4x or 5x + the remaining digits.
Example: Helsinki: 00358 9 + 7 or 8-digit number.
00 or +? Either works
Typing +358 (hold the 0 key on most phone keypads to get a +) is the international standard and works automatically wherever you're calling from. 00358 is the UK's own way of dialling out internationally — both reach exactly the same number.

What is the Finland country code?
The Finland country code is +358. When dialling from a UK phone, replace the + with 00358 instead.
Do I dial 00 or + to call Finland from the UK?
Either works on most modern phones — typing "+" (hold 0 on most keypads) and the country code is the international standard and works automatically. The 00 prefix is the UK-specific way of dialling out internationally and does exactly the same thing.
Does this work for mobiles as well as landlines?
Dial 00358 + area code + local number, removing the leading zero. Mobiles: 00358 4x or 5x + the remaining digits.
Is there a free way to call Finland that doesn't need a dialling code at all?
Yes — WhatsApp, FaceTime and similar apps call over data instead of the phone network, so there's no country code to dial at all. They're free if the person you're calling also has internet, but aren't a substitute for reaching a landline or someone without a smartphone.
