The map of the world shows the areas of the first digit of the country calling codes.

Country Dialing Code List

Below you see a list of International Country Dialing codes. The list includes also the International Dialing Prefix (IDD) and the Country Calling Code by country.

Almost each country in the world has its own country calling code, it is a single- or up to three-digit number which you have to dial to make a call to that country.

Make an international call:
First you dial the prefix-number (for most countries 00) + then the calling code number for the country + the area code (the city or region (for landlines only)) + last not least: the user number.

Tips for International Calls

Best Tips for International Calls

Overseas calls can get very fast, very expensive when you talk with your loved ones for a while using the service of your good old phone company.

There are some ways to get it cheaper:

Internet telephony

The cheapest way to make an international call is by Internet telephony, a method to make voice calls over the Internet (VoIP) with a software application like “Skype”, “FaceTime” or “WhatsApp” installed on a computer or mobile phone, it makes calls to other users within the service free of charge worldwide.

Even if the called party is not in the service it might be cheaper to call its landline (more affordable) or even its mobile (maybe not so cheap) by VoIP. If you want to call a mobile phone or landline through Skype, it requires Skype Credit or a subscription.

Advantage: cheap or even free of charge, two-way video and audio transmissions simultaneously are possible, that means with cameras (webcams) connected to the computer system you can also see your dialog partner(s) and vice versa. Disadvantage: the line might be of poor quality and might be disconnected anytime, though you can try to reconnect any time and even get lucky and get a connection with better quality.

International prepaid calling cards

Some telecom companies offer international prepaid calling cards for various foreign countries; the card is used to make phone calls at a rate other than the one charged by your local phone company (it make always sense to compare the fees).

Dial around

Dial around also known in some countries as call-by-call is a method to bypass your primary phone carrier and use the service of an independent phone company with lower fees for long distance and international calls.

It means when you make a call you dial first a given number by the cheaper service followed by the usual numbers. It looks like 0123-1-xxx-xxxxxxx, where 0123 stands for the dial-up the service of the independent phone company, – 1- stands for the long distance or international calling code and the rest “xxx-xxx” represents the area code and the subscriber number.

International Calls made easy

* The Dialing Country Code is the prefix number you have to dial to connect your call to the specific country you want to call.

** The International Call Prefix (also called an international access code or an International Direct Dialing code – IDD) is a telephone dialing code used to dial out of a country when making an international call.
In given phone numbers the IDD is often abbreviated by just “+” like in +0123 456 789, to signify that the caller should use the appropriate prefix for the country from where he is calling.

*** National Code (like an Area Code) is the local number within the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) related to island nations and US dependencies in the Caribbean and the South Pacific.

International Calls made easy.

In principle, it’s straightforward like you call from your landline or mobile at home. The only difference is, you have to dial some prefix numbers and leave out the leading zero (if any) in the area code or the mobile phone number.

It looks like:
Access code (IDD) + country calling code + area code (if any) + subscriber’s phone number

example US/Canada: 011 + country code + area code + subscriber’s phone number
example Europe: 00 + country code + area code + subscriber’s phone number

Let’s say you want to telephone from country A (the country where you are) to country B (the other country where you want to call to).

I. the first number you have to dial will be the International Dialing Prefix (IDD) of country A to indicate it is an international call (out of the country), in the majority of cases this will be “00”, in Canada and the US “011”, however, please check the IDD list above.

II. then you dial the Dialing Country Code alias Country Calling Code, the number which is designated to country B (see list above)

III a (for landlines)
then you dial the phone number of the called party, (the person or company you want to call), this number is made up of: the area code (NOW without the leading zero!) for a city or region within the foreign country and the unique number (subscribers number) of the called party, the number of your uncle Tom.
If you don’t know the area (city) code, try a search engine like Google by searching for “area (or dialing) code for city/town name,” use this number without! the leading zero.

III b (for cell phones)
then you dial the phone number of the mobile phone you want to call (without the leading zero).
