How do I go about calling internationally?

Question

I'm calling UK and I live in america, how do I go about calling internationally? I've never done it before...

Answer 1

The dialing sequence you use to call the UK from USA depends on the city area code in the UK.

International access code is 011

The country code for UK is 44

A short list of examples, set out in the officially approved (Ofcom) number groups:

011_44__Number

(20) xxxx xxxx  ____London

(29) xxxx xxxx  ____Cardiff

(117) x*x xxxx  ____Bristol

(131) x*x xxxx  ____Edinburgh

(1382) x*x x*x  ____Dundee

(1386)  xxxxxx  ____Evesham

(15396)  xxxxx  ____Sedbergh

(16977)   xxxx  ____Brampton

Answer 2

if you dial directly from your phone ( not a calling card) you dial 011 then the country code 44 and then the phone number....but calling with a calling card would be much cheaper....!

011+44+city-code+number

If you added international calling on your phone calling direct is expensive but using third party services is much cheaper..
