Find your exit code

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.

2

Dial +1 for United States

Immediately follow with United States's country code — no spaces or dashes. This routes your call to United States's telephone network. On smartphones, replace the exit code with a + sign.

3

Enter the area code

Add the city or regional code for your destination in United States. If the local number starts with a 0 (trunk prefix), drop it — the country code replaces it when dialing internationally.

4

Dial the local number

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.
