Common Issues When Calling United States

Dialing Code

Always include the 3-digit area code

US numbers are 10 digits: 3-digit area code + 7-digit local number. Dial +1 followed by all 10 digits. Unlike many countries, there is no leading 0 to drop and no distinction between mobile and landline dialing.

Routing

Toll-free numbers (800, 888, etc.) may not work internationally

US toll-free numbers starting with 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, or 844 typically cannot be reached from outside the US. Ask for a direct local number instead.

Formatting

Area code overlays mean location isn't guaranteed

Many US cities now have multiple area codes covering the same geographic area (overlay). A number's area code doesn't always indicate where the person is located, especially with mobile numbers.
