How do you call a 1 800 number in Africa?

Answer 1

If you are in Africa, trying to call a North American (USA, Canada, etc.) toll-free 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, or 844 number, you should first try dialing the number as if were a regular geographic number.

• Dial your international access prefix (for example, 00, 001, 000, etc.). This prefix depends on where you are calling from.
• Dial the telephone country code, which is 1 for North America
• Dial the area code and number (for example, 800-555-0123)
• On a mobile phone, you can dial the number as, for example, +1 800 555 0123; be sure to include the plus symbol.

If the call goes through, you will most likely pay the normal international rates for a call to the United States.

If the call does not go through, your best bet is to search on the internet for a regular geographic contact number (that is, a number that is not in the toll-free codes listed above) for the company you are trying to reach.
