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.

F A Q | International Call Prefix

An international call prefix or dial out code is a trunk prefix used to select an international telephone circuit for placing an international call. The international dialing prefix must be dialed before the country calling code and the destination telephone number.

It depends what country you're calling from. Typically, you have to dial an exit code. Then enter the country code of the country you are calling, and then the phone number. Remember, it varies from location to location. For example, in the US, this is the format you'd use: 1) Dial “011” on your keypad. This is the international access code. 2) Enter the country code next. 3) Dial the city/area code, if applicable. 4) Input the remaining digits of the phone number.

The + is dialed to make an international call. It is used before a country calling code when dialing out to another country on a mobile phone. Example: to call the US, you would dial the +1 or dial 011 before you dial the number.

International telephone calls are phone calls made between different countries. As of the mid 1970s, international direct dialling has enabled calls to be dialed using the country code without needing an operator.
