Dialing Canada in Three Simple Steps
Canada runs on the same numbering plan as the USA (NANP). Below is the standard sequence for placing a call from another country.
Exit Code
Begin with the exit code for the country you are in.
00 for Europe/UK.
0011 for Australia.
(On mobile or VoIP, the + sign works too)
Canada Code (+1)
Enter +1. That is Canada's country code, the same one the USA uses.
Area Code & Number
Add the 3-digit area code, then the 7-digit local number.
Example: 416-555-0199
How Canadian Phone Numbers Are Built
Canadian numbers use the same layout as US numbers:
3-digit Area Code + 7-digit Subscriber Number.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the country code for Canada?
Canada's country calling code is +1. The same code covers the United States and several Caribbean territories, all part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP).
Is calling Canada the same as calling the US?
The dialing pattern is the same, +1 followed by the area code and number. Per minute pricing can still vary by provider, which is why Intercalling keeps Canada rates low and transparent.
Can I reach Canadian toll-free numbers (800) from abroad?
Canadian toll-free numbers (800, 888, 877 and similar) usually fail when dialed from outside North America on a standard carrier. Through Intercalling's VoIP service you can connect to those numbers over the internet instead.
Do I need to dial 1 before the area code?
When you call from outside North America the format is +1 (Area Code) Number, so yes. That leading '1' is doing the job of the country code.
