More Helpful Tips for Calling Abroad

In some countries, it costs more to call a mobile phone than it costs to call a landline. With this in mind, it’s important to know what type of phone you’re calling before you dial an international phone number. When possible, try to call landlines, as you’ll likely pay less.

When calling an international number with a country code that starts with 0 (zero), drop the zero before dialing the number. The zero is a “trunk code” used to make domestic calls within some countries.

The plus sign (+) used before an international telephone number can either be dialed or replaced with your country’s exit code. For example, if you are in the US and you want to call the UK number +44 7000 000 000, you can either dial the plus sign or you can replace the plus sign with 011.

Be aware of extra charges that you may incur by using a service, such as a calling card, to place international calls. These services often advertise low rates but will charge extra fees for connection or maintenance.
