How To Call the United States
A United States phone number consists of 10 numbers: a three-digit area code, followed by a three-digit exchange code, and a four-digit subscriber number. Depending on from where in the world you call, the number of digits needed to connect with someone can vary — callers within the same area code need only dial the latter 7 numbers, while a caller from across the world would need an exit code, United States country code, as well as the 10-digit phone number.
This article will attempt to simplify how to dial to an American phone number from any part of the world, whether it be Australia, the UK, India, or Belgium. It will also cover the country codes and area codes that you will need.
N.B. These tips should work even when calling from or trying to access a mobile number.
Here is a list of the area codes by individual state:
For example, a caller from the United Kingdom attempting to reach a contact in the United States would have to dial 00 1 ### ### ####.
For example, a caller in the United States trying to reach a phone number in France should dial 011 33 # ## ## ## ##.
