How to Make International Calls on Toll-Free Phones

Planning to dial abroad? Follow these four steps to connect with any country in the world from your toll-free or business phone line.

  1. Know your country’s exit code (IDD prefix).
    Before dialing internationally, you must enter the International Direct Dialing (IDD) prefix for the country you are calling from. In the United States and Canada, that prefix is 011. Every country has its own unique exit code, so confirm yours before you dial.
  2. Dial the destination country code.
    After the exit code, enter the country code of the country you want to reach. Country codes are typically one to three digits and are unique to each nation — for example, the United Kingdom is 44 and Mexico is 52.
  3. Enter the area code.
    Next, dial the area code for the specific region or city you are calling. Area codes vary in length — usually between one and six digits — and identify the geographic area within the destination country.
  4. Dial the local phone number.
    Finally, enter the local phone number of the person or business you are trying to reach. At this point your international call is complete and will connect.
Quick Example — Calling from the US:
011 + [Country Code] + [Area Code] + [Local Number]
