International call prefixes are used to dial out of a given country when calling an international phone number. Some countries share an international call prefix and some countries have their own unique code.
International Phone Numbers: Dialing Conventions
When calling international phone numbers, callers need to pay attention to dialing conventions such as exit codes, international call prefixes, trunk prefixes, and so on. In the below table, we list down country codes, international prefixes, national (trunk) prefixes, and the length of the national significant number (NSN).

International Call Prefixes
The most common call prefix is “00” because it was set as a standard by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). Not all countries, however, have adopted this as their international call prefix. Also, some countries have a separate international call prefix for VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service. This means that if you are calling from a VoIP device, you would use a different prefix than if you were dialing from a fixed phone or a mobile phone.
Since not all countries use the same prefix, we have a list of countries and their corresponding international call prefixes below.
