Country code

[CharleyH]

brief question - HOW do I dial Canada? I have certain numbers ingrained into my phone, no phone book though ... how do I dial Canada? I thought it was simply 1 - area - phone number?

[CharleyH]

I could tell you, but I'd have to kill ya.

It's different for us in the UK. 014 methinks, from here.

OH, You are helpful! I will use the damn operator. Thanks though!

OK - Apparently I cannot do that - LOL

I don't know howm uch of this is the code but to dial Calgary (Alberta) this is what i had...001403 << is a canadian phone no. 7 digits long? if so then this was the entire code before it.

I don't know, try it? google it?

 

[gauchecritic]

I think international calls now begin with 00 as per fallen, other than that:

 

[Fallenfromgrace]

Oh Charley, just to make sure (im not implying you are thick- i didnt know when i was first dialing ) but it's different for every province- perhaps every city as each province itself is ridiculously huuuuge. Though a clever one like yourself, im sure you know that already

001 then? I will try. Thanks.

 

[lipsofanangel]

Anywhere I've called in Canada is the same as the US, 1 + area code + phone number but I've only called three provinces.

 

[CharleyH]

001 then? I will try. Thanks.

PERFECT! Thanks, Gauche.

Thought that was translated, (will you share a bed with me tonight?)

This is probably the most useful site.........it will tell you every country dialling code, no matter which country you are dialling from. Fantabulous.

Charlus, you'll never have to ask the question that started this thread.........ever again.

The simplest answer is, yes. Just dial 1+area code+phone number.

The U.S. and Canada have an integrated system. But as any illegal could tell you, calls to Mexico are regular International calls.

This is the same procedure for the Caribbean ~ 1+area code+phone number:

Anguilla
Antigua
Bahamas
Barbados
Bermuda
British Virgin Islands
Cayman Islands
Dominica
Dominican Republic
Grenada
Jamaica
Montserrat
Puerto Rico
St. Kitts & Nevis
St. Lucia
St. Vincent
Tobago & Trinidad
Turks & Caicos Islands
U.S. Virgins Islands

I saw the same information presented in the phone book - both ways. The problem is, it's misinterpreted. Under International calling both the U.S. & Canada are shown with a 1, implying (incorrectly) that it's an international call requiring the user to first dial 011. Trying the link you show, for calls placed from U.S. to U.S. also says dial 011. See also.. The phone system set-up and dialing procedures is the product of another era when there was just AT&T and it set up the system for the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean.

Ah. Right. Just noticed that.

Duh.

I was being literal in my translation: voulez vou (will you) couchez (bed, more properly couch) avec (with) moi (me)

Which just goes to show that fun can be qualified and superlatised as happy fun, fun and that all our base do indeed belong to they.

On most cell phones if you press and hold the 0 key, if it also has a + sign on it, the phone will place the county code in the buffer for you.

That's not the country code, it's the international access code (00 in most places), after which you need the code of the country you're trying to call to.

Exactly.

When I use my phone in the States, to be able to access any of the numbers i my phone memory, I have to make sure they have the + and country code in front (in my case, either 44 for UK or 1 for States).
