How to dial international calls
To make international calls from the US or Canada you must dial: 011 (US exit code) + country code + phone number. Visit this comprehensive Country codes guide for detailed info on how to dial any country.
One important fact we always warn our visitors about: expect to pay much more for calls to international cellular numbers. See this Wikipedia List of international mobile codes for more info.
