How to telephone London from Canada?

Answer 1

Dial your International Access Code - 011

Dial the UK Country Code - 44

Dial the London Area Code - 20

Dial the eight digit London local number.

If you have a number like (020) xxxx xxxx then dial 011 44 20 xxxx xxxx.

If you have a number like +44 20 xxxx xxxx then dial 011 44 20 xxxx xxxx.

If the area code is shown with a leading zero, you must not dial it.

If the area code is shown as 0207 or 207 or 0208 or 208 or 0203 or 203 then note that the writer has shown the number in an incorrect way. The '20' is the area code, and the last digit shown with the code is really the first digit of the eight-digit local number.

Answer 2

Go to time and date.com on the bar at the top it gives you options. Hover over "calculators" and then choose "dialling codes". Choose the country your calling from and the country your calling to and enter the number.

Answer 3

Dial 00 1 plus area code and number, the same as for the United States. On a GSM mobile, dial +1 (including the plus symbol) and then the area code and number.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

Answer 4

Mobile phones (cell phones) in the UK are assigned from national prefixes with no geographical basis. Thus, a London mobile number looks exactly like a mobile number from any other part of the UK. Mobile numbers begin with 074 through 079, which becomes +44 74 through +44 79 in international format. (You must drop the trunk prefix 0 from any UK domestic telephone number in international format.)

If you are calling from a mobile, just enter the number in international format, including the plus symbol; for example, +44 7700 900123.

Otherwise, replace the plus symbol with YOUR international access prefix. The most commonly used prefix is 00, but many countries use other prefixes.

Answer 5

The telephone country code for Canada is +1, the same as for the USA.

On a mobile phone, just enter the number in international format, beginning with +1 (including the plus symbol). For example, +1 416 555 0123.

Otherwise, substitute the UK's international access prefix 00 for the plus symbol.

Answer 6

The country code for the United Kingdom is +44. The city code for London is 20 (Drop the leading '0' from the area code as quoted within the UK.) The local number is 8 digits. The plus sign on the country code means "insert your international access prefix here"; the prefix from the US is 011. Lastly, if you press the # key after dialing an international number, it tells the telephone switch that you've finished dialing (since international numbers can vary in length).

In short, 011 - 44 - 20 - (8-digit local number)- #

You may occasionally see London numbers quoted as, for example, 0207 or +44 208, but that is incorrect.

Answer 7

On a mobile phone (cell phone): +44 20, followed by 8-digit London number

On a landline phone or fax machine: 011 44 20, followed by 8-digit London number.

Answer 8

To dial from the USA to London, dial 011 44 then the full UK number minus its leading zero.

For example, the London number (020) 7946 0018 would be dialled as 011 44 20 7946 0018.
