How to call the USA from Nigeria

In short

To call the USA from Nigeria, open Intercalling in your browser, type the plus sign, then 1, the three digit area code and the number, and tap call. No app, no SIM and no airtime needed. You pay per minute at about $0.046 a minute flat for any American number, and your first call is free.

The American number format you should dial

The USA country code is +1. After it comes a three digit area code and a seven digit number. New York uses 212 and 718, Los Angeles uses 213 and 310, Houston uses 713 and Atlanta uses 404. So an American number looks like +1 followed by the area code and the rest, for example +1 212 and the number.

There is no difference in price between calling a mobile and a landline in the USA, so you do not need to wonder what kind of line you are reaching. With Intercalling you simply enter the plus sign, 1, the area code and the number, the same way on your laptop or your phone.

Why this is handy for Nigerians in the diaspora

Plenty of Nigerian families have relatives studying, working or living in the United States, and the cost of regular international calls from a local SIM can be heavy. With Intercalling the call goes over wifi or data, so there is no airtime to top up and no roaming charge to worry about.

It also works the other way round. If you travel and your line has no Nigerian signal, you can still reach your people in America from any browser, as long as you have internet. The person you call answers on their ordinary phone and needs no app on their side.

What it costs and how billing works

Calls to the USA cost about $0.046 a minute, the same flat rate for mobile and landline, plus a small $0.004 connection fee per call. Billing is per minute with no monthly plan and no contract, so you only pay for the time you actually talk.

Your credit never expires, so you can load a small amount and use it whenever you need. The first call is free and we do not ask for a card to try it, which lets you confirm the voice quality before you add any money.

Working out the time difference before you call

America covers several time zones and all of them sit behind Nigeria. New York on Eastern time is about six hours behind, so when it is 3pm in Lagos it is roughly 9am in New York. Los Angeles on Pacific time is about eight hours behind, so the same 3pm in Lagos is around 7am there.

A simple rule helps you avoid waking anyone. Your early afternoon in Nigeria catches the American morning, and your evening reaches their working day on the West Coast. If you are calling family before they leave for work or school, late morning Nigerian time is usually a safe and friendly window.

Cheaper than the carrier international rate

Calling America on a Nigerian SIM at the standard international rate can run into hundreds of naira a minute, and roaming makes it worse if you travel. At about $0.046 a minute, Intercalling is a fraction of that, and the price is the same whether you call a mobile in Texas or a landline in Florida.

Because there is no plan and no bundle to buy, you are not paying for minutes you never use. You load what you want, the credit never expires, and a short top up can cover many calls home to the States across the month.
