Dialing a 202 Number Step by Step

Simple steps for connecting to Washington DC wherever you happen to be calling from.

1

Calling From Abroad

Dialing from beyond the United States? Begin with your international exit code, then 1, then 202 and the seven digit number. Plenty of mobile phones let the plus sign stand in for that exit code.

2

Calling Within the US

Inside the United States you can usually just dial 202 ahead of the seven digit number. Certain local rules accept the full 1 202 format so things stay uniform across long distance networks.
