Country calling codes and international calling explained
How to make an international call?
When making an international call, before dialling the country code, you need to call out of the country you are in. To do so, dial an International Call Prefix. Please find below a list of all countries with their respective international call prefix.
The International Call Prefix is also known by IDD code (which stands for International Direct Dial code) or international dial-out code.
Since having to use different international prefixes for different countries, most operators have implemented a work-around, when dialling a ‘+’, the operator will automatically replace the ‘+’ with the correct International Call Prefix.
What is a country code?
A Country Code is the number to dial to get connected to the country you want to call. Every country has their own Country Code (e.g. USA 1, UK 44 and NL 31). Please find the country codes of all countries in the list below.
Note: North America has country code 1, however many countries are included in the country code. Some of these countries have – besides the country code 1 – an additional prefix: a National Code. These codes can be found in the list below as well.
When placing an international call, first dial the international call prefix, followed by the country code, when required the National Code and finally the destination number you are trying to reach.
The standard behind (international) calling numbers is defined by ITU-T and can be found here.
