How To Make An International Call

July 21, 2008

You know most people could not tell you how to make International Calls. This question is commonly asked. Actually, it took me a minute to think about it… So, I thought for those folks out there that, probably don’t make a lot of international calls on a regular basis, but might want to know how , I put together some very simple steps on how to make an international call.

How to Make An International Call:

1. You have to know the International Call Prefix. This code allows you to dial outside of the country you are calling from. The code is different for each Country, these are the first digits you will punch in when you hear a dial tone.

2.The next numbers will be the Country Code of the country you are calling. Depending on the country this code can be different depending on whether you are calling a cell phone or a regular fixed phone. Some lager countries have different country codes based on regions and geography.

This digit will be between 1 and 3 numbers.

3. Ok, the next numbers are the city codes. Again this number can be between 1 to 3 digets and narrows you call down to specific regions in the country your calling.

4. Last step, dil the local number and you are finished! To sum it all up:

Step 1: Dial International Call Prefix

Step 2: Dial Country Code

Step 3: Dial City Code (area code)

Step 4: Dial Local Number

So calling from my phone in the US to the city of Berlin in Germany it would look like this: 011 + 49 + 30 + (the local number) and Walla! That’s it!
