Dialing 011 Made SimpleUse the US exit code to reach any country, at cheap per minute rates
From the United States and Canada, 011 is the exit code that opens an international call. Intercalling spares you the memorizing: type the plus sign and country code straight into your browser dialer, reach any number worldwide with nothing to install, and pay low per minute rates as you go.
Placing a Call with 011
A simple walkthrough for reaching overseas numbers from the United States and Canada.
Dial the Exit Code
Start by dialing 011 if you are in the United States or Canada. That tells the network the call is headed overseas. On a mobile or a web VoIP dialer, the plus sign does the same job.
Country Code
Follow 011 with the country calling code. For instance, 44 reaches the United Kingdom, 91 reaches India, 61 reaches Australia, and 49 reaches Germany.
Area Code and Local Number
Finish with the area or city code, then the subscriber number. Leave off any domestic trunk prefix, such as a leading zero. The pattern is 011 country-code area-code local-number, or +country-code area-code local-number.
Worked Examples
Each row pairs the full 011 sequence with the equivalent plus-sign format, the same one that works on mobiles and on browser VoIP services like Intercalling.
Exit Codes Used Around the World
The United States and many NANP countries rely on 011. A large share of other nations use 00 as their international prefix, though today's devices let the plus sign stand in to keep dialing simple.
United States and Canada
Exit code: 011. Dial it for calls leaving the US or Canada.
Most of Europe
Exit code: 00. This covers the UK, Germany, and much of the EU.
Mobile and VoIP
Lead with the plus sign and country code for the easiest dialing. Intercalling reads the +country-code format right inside the browser.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 011 international prefix do?
011 is the exit code you dial to place an international call from the United States or Canada. It tells the phone network that the number you want sits outside the country.
Should I dial + or 011?
Reach for the plus sign on mobiles and web calling tools. It fills in the right international access code for wherever you happen to be. Inside Intercalling, just type +country-code into the browser dialer.
Do I keep the local trunk zero when calling abroad?
No. Strip out any domestic trunk prefix, like a leading zero. London, for example, is 011 44 20 ... or +44 20 ..., never 011 44 020.
Can Intercalling reach any country from the browser?
Yes. Intercalling links your browser to the public phone network, so almost any international number is reachable with nothing to install.
