How do you dial a US cell phone from a UK cell phone?

Answer 1

The telephone country code for the United States is +1, followed by a three-digit area code and a 7-digit subscriber number. US mobile numbers are indistinguishable from landline numbers, using the same geographic area codes, and calls to US mobiles are charged at identical rates to calls to U.S. landline numbers. On your UK mobile, just enter the number in international format, beginning with the plus symbol. If your mobile does not allow you to enter the plus symbol in a telephone number, substitute the UK's international access prefix 00 for the plus symbol.

Answer 2

The most reliable way is to enter the telephone number in international format, beginning with the telephone country code. For example, the UK is +44, France is +33, and Italy is +39. In most cases, EXCEPT ITALY, you must drop the trunk prefix 0 if it is included at the beginning of the domestic telephone number. For example, London's 020 becomes +44 20, Paris's 01 becomes +33 1, but Rome's 06 becomes +39 06.

To call back to the US and Canada, just prefix the North American number with +1.

Instructions for entering the plus symbol vary, depending on the make and model of your cell phone. "Press and hold 0" is a common method, but some smartphones bring up a submenu to allow you to enter the plus.

Answer 3

In the United States, there is no distinction between landline telephone numbers and mobile phone (cell phone) numbers. They all use the same geographic area codes.

To dial any US telephone number from Europe, use the telephone country code +1, followed by the ten-digit US number.

On a mobile phone (cell phone), just dial the number in international format, beginning with +1, including the plus symbol.

On a landline phone or fax machine, substitute the international access prefix for your current location for the plus symbol. In most of Europe, the prefix is 00, but there are a few exceptions, particularly in former Soviet countries.

Answer 4

If you are making an international call on a mobile phone, the most reliable way is to enter the number in international format, beginning with the plus symbol and the telephone country code (one, two, or three digits, never beginning with zero). In most countries, you must also drop the trunk prefix 0 from the beginning of the domestic telephone number; for example, Edinburgh's area code 0131 becomes +44 131. However, Italy is a prominent exception to this rule; for example, Rome's area code 06 becomes +39 06, not +39 6. (There are a few other countries, mostly in Africa, where you do not drop the leading 0 of the domestic telephone number.)

If you are making an international call from a US landline telephone, substitute the US/North American international access prefix 011 for the plus symbol.

Answer 5

The most reliable method for dialing any call on a mobile phone (cell phone) is to use the full international format for the number. You need the country code, the city code, and the subscriber number.

The country code is one, two, or three digits, never beginning with a zero, with a plus symbol at the front. For example, the country code for the US and Canada is +1, the UK is +44, Italy is +39, and Ireland is +353. If you see a reference to "country code 0039," that is actually country code +39, written in the way it would be dialed in most of Europe, but the correct code is +39.

The city code or area code (in countries that use them) is often given including the domestic trunk prefix 0, and you usually must drop the trunk prefix in international format. For example, Liverpool is 0151, which becomes +44 151, and Dublin is 01, which becomes +353 1. However, Italy is a prominent exception to this rule; for example, Rome is 06, which becomes +39 06, not +39 6. Note also that many countries, including Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and many others, do not use area codes or city codes.

To dial the number on your mobile phone, just enter it in international format, beginning with the plus symbol. The mobile network will automatically substitute the correct prefix, no matter what country you happen to be in at the moment.

Telephone numbers in the United States and Canada are very easy: just add the country code +1 before the ten-digit number; e.g., +1 317 555 0123.

Answer 6

At&t customer service says all you have to dial is the mobile phone's ten digit local US number. No international code or country codes needed

Answer 7

Just dial +1 (including the plus symbol) followed by the 10-digit US telephone number, for mobiles and landlines.

Answer 8

Always just dial the US number as normal. The physical location of the cell phone does not change the way you dial its number.
