Making international long distance calls is easy.
Making a long distance international call is simple if you know the correct formula. All international long distance phone calls follow a similar format--international access code, then country code, then city code, then local phone number. Call international numbers directly by following this format.
Instructions
1. Enter the international access code. This tells the service provider that you are calling outside of the United States. The international access code for calling from the United States and Canada is 001.
2. Enter the country code for the country you are calling. This two-digit code is specific to the country you are calling. There are comprehensive lists that provide these codes on the Internet.
3. Enter the city code and the local phone number. It is not necessary to look up the city code, as most listings include this code in the actual phone number.
4. Place the call and wait for an answer. If you make a mistake, you will receive an error message. Check the number and try again.
