Can you call a US number outside the US?

Calling US Numbers from Outside the United States

When making a call to a US number from overseas, it is important to add the international access code before the local number. This code varies depending on the country from which you are calling.

In most cases, the international access code is +1 or 001. For example, to call a US number from the United Kingdom, you would dial 001 followed by the US area code and local number.

Example:

To call the number (555) 123-4567 from the United Kingdom, you would dial:

001-555-123-4567

Note: Some countries may require an additional digit or two before the international access code. For example, to call the US from Australia, you would dial 0011 followed by the US area code and local number.

Using a Calling Card or VoIP Service

If you are calling from a country that has high international calling rates, you may want to use a calling card or VoIP service. These services can offer lower rates than traditional phone companies.

When using a calling card:

• Dial the access number for the calling card company.
• Enter your calling card number and PIN.
• Dial the US number you wish to call, including the international access code.

When using a VoIP service:

• Sign up for a VoIP account.
• Download the VoIP software or app.
• Dial the US number you wish to call, including the international access code.

Remember:

• When calling a US number from outside the US, you must include the international access code.
• The international access code is typically +1 or 001.
• Using a calling card or VoIP service can help reduce international calling costs.
