Calling Cards and 1-800 Numbers

When calling the U.S. from a foreign country, a prepaid calling card can be useful because it
circumvents unexpected charges from the hotel. Calling cards purchased locally are typically
the best (less expensive, more likely to work with the local phones, etc.).

One reminder: Do not call U.S. 1-800 numbers outside the continental United States. This can
result in costly long distance fees, since 1-800 numbers do not work outside the country.

How to Call Overseas

When calling overseas from the U.S., dial 011 for international exchange, then the country code
(indicated by a plus sign: +), and then the number. Note that foreign phone numbers may not
have the same number of digits as U.S. numbers; even within a country the number of digits
can vary depending on the city and if the phone is a land line or cell phone.
