International Telephone Dialing Codes

International calling codes (country codes) are dialed before the local phone number when making an international call. They are defined by the ITU-T E.164 standard. The plus sign (+) or international access code (00 in most countries) precedes the country code.

How do I dial an international number?

Dial your international access code (usually 00 or +), then the country code, then the local number (often omitting any leading zero from the local number). For example, to call a UK number (020 XXXX XXXX) from the US, you would dial: +44 20 XXXX XXXX.

Why do some countries share a code?

The United States and Canada both use +1 because they are part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). The specific country is determined by the area code that follows.

What is the ITU-T E.164 standard?

E.164 is the international numbering plan published by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). It defines the format of international phone numbers: country code + subscriber number, with a maximum of 15 digits total.

What does the plus sign (+) mean?

The + symbol is a notation for the international dialing prefix. When you see +44, it means you should dial your country's international access code (00 in the UK, 011 in the US) followed by 44. The + makes the number universally portable.
