How to Make an Overseas Call Using Google Voice with Examples

Need to make an overseas call? It’s simple and affordable!”

To dial an international number, follow this format:

1.         Start with the exit code: Dial + (or 011 if you’re in the U.S.).

2.         Enter the country code: For example, 44 for the UK.

3.         Dial the phone number: Enter the local phone number you wish to call.

Example 1: If You’re in the U.S. and calling the UK number 020 1234 5678. Dial: 011 + 44 + 20 1234 5678. 011 is the U.S. exit code, 44 is the UK country code.

Example 2: If You’re in the UK and calling a U.S. number 415 555 1234.  Dial: 00 + 1 + 415 555 1234. 00 is the UK exit code, 1 is the U.S. country code.

Example 3: To call your friend in the U.S. from the UK using your U.S. phone number, you can dial the number directly as if you were in the U.S. However, if you need to add international dialing codes, here’s what to do, for example +1 847 771 7098. Make sure to include the + sign before the country code. This format should work regardless of whether you are using a U.S. phone number or a UK one.

If You’re in Other Countries, check the exit code for your country (usually 00 or 011), followed by the country code of the destination, and then the local number.

Always start with the exit code specific to your country.
