International Dialling Rules

Please follow the instructions below in order to place an International phone call.

If you are dialling from another country: Dial your international access code - usually 011 in the US and 00 in Europe.

Dial the country code - the digits immediately after the ++ sign.

Dial the number - omitting the first number, usually a zero if there is one.

You can tell whether you are dialling a number in your own country if the digits immediately after the plus sign correspond to your own country code.

Click on the country code on any page to see which country the code is for and for the time offset from GMT.

For example the country code for the UK is ' 44', thus if you are dialling from the UK to the UK, the ' 44' immediately after the plus sign can be ignored and the area code dialled first.

Please be considerate to the time differences when calling owners!
