International Dial Code Directory: Reach Any Number Worldwide Using ISO Codes
Thanks to technology, people worldwide are talking (and texting) more than ever before in history. This is a great thing, helping to make our world a more connected and understanding place.
When you place a call to another country, you must dial a numbered prefix to alert the phone company you're making an international call. These international country codes denote the specific country. Imagine if international calling codes didn't exist. First, there aren't enough numbers in the current system to provide the billions of unique numbers that would be needed. You may intend to call your cousin Lou in Albuquerque, but end up talking to a pharmacy in Russia or a small child in Wales.
Introduced in the 1940s, the North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA) includes 24 countries/regions across the globe. However, some countries, including Mexico, Cuba, and Haiti, do not participate in the system. NANPA ensures that you'll reach the party you've intended. The numbering plan includes the United States and its territories, such as Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands, Canada, and various Caribbean nations. The prefix for these locales is +1. If you’re out of the country and want to call home, you must add the +1 in addition to the area code and local number to reach your desired party. For example, if you call the US while on vacation in Europe, you would dial +1 plus the phone number: +1 (444) 555-1234.
Some prefixes encompass more than one country or region. The following list includes the area codes for such nations outside of the North American Numbering Plan. To do our part, we've created a complete listing of all the international Country Codes for dialing anyone all across the globe. We've also added all of the two-digit and three-digit ISO codes for each country.

How to Call Internationally
To call an international landline number you will need to have the following information:
- International Dial Code (Exit Code-from the country you're calling from)
- Country Code (country you're calling to)
- Area Code
- Phone Number
In order to dial a UK landline number 02012345678 from the US you will need to follow these steps:
- Remove the zero "0" from in front of the area code: 20112345678
- Dial the International Dial Code for the US (011) then Country Code for UK (44) then Area Code (20) then Phone number (12345678)
The number you dial should look like this: 011 44 2012345678
Dialing or texting an international cell number is even easier. Let's say you want to call 07123456789, which is a UK cell number, from a cell in the US. You would follow these steps:
- Remove the zero "0" from in front of the area code: 7123456789
- Dial "+" then the Country Code for UK (44) then Phone number (7123456789)
The number you dial should look like this: +44 7123456789
To dial the same UK cell number number from a landline, replace the plus sign "+" with the Exit Code, like this: 011447123456789. You cannot dial "+" on a landline phone, so you have to use the Exit Code.
If you follow these steps you shouldn't have any issues reaching your friends and family who live abroad. There are resources out there to help you. Also, if you travel frequently we've found the best U.S phone plan and iPhone combo for the digital nomad, it makes international calling affordable!
