Questions We Hear Often
Which exit code does the USA use?
For the USA and Canada the exit code is 011. From a landline you dial it ahead of the country code on any international call. From a mobile, the '+' symbol does the same job.
What does it cost to call Germany from the USA?
Traditional carriers can run $2.00+ per minute. Intercalling starts as low as a few cents per minute, with the exact rate depending on whether the number is a landline or a mobile.
Why won't my call to Germany go through?
Usually it is the leading '0' on the area code that gets left in. If the number reads 030-123456, you should dial 011-49-30-123456 instead. On a traditional carrier, also confirm that international calling is switched on.
Can I reach German toll-free 0800 numbers from the USA?
Usually not. Those 0800 lines tend to work only inside Germany. Look instead for the company's international number, which normally opens with a regular city code such as +49 30 or +49 69.
