Frequently Asked Questions

What exit code does Canada use?

It is 011. Dial it first for any international call beyond North America (USA/Caribbean).

What is the format for a UK mobile?

UK mobiles begin with 07. From Canada, dial 011 + 44 + 7... and leave off the leading zero. Traditional carriers often charge more for mobiles than landlines, while Intercalling keeps rates low for both.

Why won't my London call go through?

Usually it is the leading zero. Dialing 011 44 020... will not connect. Use 011 44 20... instead.

Does my plan already cover UK calls?

Most Canadian mobile plans (Rogers, Bell, Telus) do NOT cover international UK calls without a specific add-on. Pay-per-use rates can climb very high ($1.50+/min).

Calling United Kingdom from Canada: what to know

United Kingdom answers on the country code +44, with the capital in London and most business concentrated around London, Manchester and Birmingham. The working language for business is English, and local offices generally keep hours of 9:00 to 17:30 typical. Pub-and-lunch culture clusters meetings 10:00 to 12:30 and 14:00 to 16:30.

From Canada the outbound access code is 011, so a manual dial reads 011 then +44 then the local number. Intercalling removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between Canada and United Kingdom.

Most mobiles in United Kingdom sit on operators such as EE (BT Group), O2 (Virgin Media O2), Vodafone UK. 070 numbers look like UK mobiles but are 'personal numbers' that can cost the caller £0.50/minute or more, they're not real mobile lines.

United Kingdom runs on UTC, and it shifts for daylight saving, so confirm the current difference before an early or late call.
