How do I make an international call?

Learn how to dial international phone numbers.

Before you begin: You must have international dialing permissions.

Dial your country’s exit code (US = 011, list of exit codes) which replaces the plus sign (+) commonly used in international numbers.
Dial your destination party’s country code (list of country codes).
Dial your destination party’s area code.
Dial your destination party’s local phone number. If the number you are calling starts with 0, you can omit this when you dial.
Example: To make a call from the US to a landline in São Paulo, Brazil; you would dial 011-55-11-XXXX-XXXX.
