Get International Phone Numbers for 160+ Countries

International numbers allow you to call most countries worldwide, depending on your provider.

With CloudTalk, you can get numbers in 160+ countries, making it easy to connect with customers globally without setting up a local presence.

To dial an international phone number, you need to follow a specific sequence that tells your carrier where the call is going:

Exit code + Country code + Area/City code + Local number

Here’s how it works:

• Exit code: Signals that you’re making an international call (e.g., 011 from the US/Canada, 00 from most of Europe, including Spain). On mobile phones, you can use + instead by long-pressing 0.
• Country code: Identifies the destination country (e.g., +34 for Spain, +1 for the US/Canada, +44 for the UK).
• Area or city code + local number: The rest of the phone number—but without any leading zero from the area code.

Example:
To call a number in Madrid (912 345 678) from the US:
011 + 34 + 912 345 678

Or simply:
+34 912 345 678 (on mobile or VoIP systems)

To improve call quality and outcomes, follow these best practices:

• Prepare for language and cultural differences: Adjust your messaging, tone, and timing to match local expectations and avoid misunderstandings.
• Use a reliable VoIP system: Ensures stable connections, better call quality, and access to global numbers without relying on traditional carriers.
• Schedule calls in the right time zone: Increases answer rates by reaching contacts during their working hours—not too early or too late.
• Use local or international business numbers: Displaying a familiar number makes recipients more likely to pick up, especially in outbound sales.
• Track performance with analytics: Monitor call outcomes, durations, and success rates to identify what’s working and where to improve.

To make an international call from the US or Canada, dial the exit code first, followed by the country code, area code (if needed), and the local phone number.

Dialing steps:

• From a landline: Dial 011 (US/Canada exit code), then the country code, area code, and number. Example: 011 44 20 7946 0000 (calling London, UK)
• From a mobile phone: Use the + symbol instead of the exit code. Example: +44 20 7946 0000 (works across carriers like Verizon or T-Mobile)

Calls within the US, Canada, and other countries in the North American Numbering Plan follow a simpler format. Instead of dialing an international code, you can just use 1 + area code + local number, since these regions share the same numbering system.
