I am having trouble calling this number in Canada from England- 0012894402569? help please :)?

Question

I have tried dialling +1 and 001 at the beginning and neither work? Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong and why this doesnt work?

Thanks guys x

Answer 1

Do you have the right province area code?  I just checked a listing of area codes and 289 isn't coming up.  Check that because you are dialing the right formula:

0-01-(area code)- (7 digit phone number)

Answer 2

That's the right 'path' for calling Canada from the UK (the poster above has it backwards, you are IN England and want to call Canada, correct?).

If the call won't go through, try calling the operator.  The number is complete, though.

289 is an Ontario code.

Answer 3

I'm gonna take a stab at it.

First, you have to know what your international dialing code is. I'm in America and we have to first dial 011.  (When I was in the UK, it was 001)  

Then, you dial the Country code...the UK is "44"  

then the area code--many times it's like 0208, 0791, etc..you drop the first 0..just dial 208, 791,  

and THEN- the telephone number.

I'm guessing that you didn't dial the country code.  

Answer 4

You have not dialed the country code.

001 - to access an International line - You may want to check this one - if I am calling overseas from Canada I dial 011

1 - Canada's Country code

289 - area code

440 2569 the person's #

dial them in that order
