Full dialing sequence
Start by dialing your own country's international access code. From the US or Canada this is 011; from most of Europe it's 00. This tells your network you're making an international call.
Immediately follow with Laos's country code — no spaces or dashes. This routes your call to Laos's telephone network. On smartphones, replace the exit code with a + sign.
Add the city or regional code for your destination in Laos. If the local number starts with a 0 (trunk prefix), drop it — the country code replaces it when dialing internationally.
Enter all remaining digits of the local number exactly as written. For mobile numbers, include every digit — no abbreviations. Press call and your carrier does the rest.
Your connection sets the tone for the call, so choose strong Wi-Fi or dependable data every time.
A headset keeps your hands free and your audio sharp, ideal for any extended call to Laos.
Account for UTC+7 when you plan, so your call reaches people during their day, not their night.
Reaching Laos doesn't require a big spend once you choose internet calling over a traditional carrier.
