Prefix & suffix when dialling another country
To call a number abroad you replace the leading national prefix (often a 0) with the country code, and start the call with your own country's exit code — or simply use + on a mobile, which works everywhere.
The simple rule
+ country code + number without its leading 0
Example: an Indian number written 020 1234 5678 is dialled from anywhere as +91 20 1234 5678.
| Country | Country code | Exit code (calling out) | Trunk prefix (drop it) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇮🇳 India | +91 | 00 | 0 |
| 🇺🇸 United States | +1 | 011 | — |
| 🇬🇧 United Kingdom | +44 | 00 | 0 |
| 🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates | +971 | 00 | 0 |
| 🇦🇺 Australia | +61 | 0011 | 0 |
| 🇨🇦 Canada | +1 | 011 | — |
| 🇸🇬 Singapore | +65 | 000 | — |
| 🇩🇪 Germany | +49 | 00 | 0 |
| 🇫🇷 France | +33 | 00 | 0 |
| 🇯🇵 Japan | +81 | 010 | 0 |
| 🇨🇳 China | +86 | 00 | 0 |
| 🇰🇷 South Korea | +82 | 001 | 0 |
| 🇳🇿 New Zealand | +64 | 00 | 0 |
Short emergency numbers such as 100, 999, 911 or 112 only work inside that country. From abroad, call the organisation's full international number instead.
