How to Call a US Toll-Free Number from Abroad

Follow these steps to place a call to a US toll-free number from another country. If the number does not accept international calls, try the alternatives below.

1

Find Your Exit Code

Every country has an international exit code. For example, from many European countries you dial 00, from Australia you dial 0011, and from some mobiles you can use the plus sign instead.

2

Dial US Country Code

After the exit code, dial the US country code 1. On mobile and most internet calling services you can use +1 instead of typing the exit code and 1 separately.

3

Dial the Toll-Free Number

Enter the full toll-free number including the prefix like 800, 888, or 877 followed by the remaining digits. Example format: +1 800 123 4567. If the call does not connect, see alternatives below.

Dialing Examples

Use plus format on mobile or browser calling apps. Examples below show how the number appears when callable from abroad.
