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.

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.
