Calling the US from abroad: what to know

US numbers are 10 digits: a 3-digit area code followed by a 7-digit number. Mobile and landline numbers look exactly the same, so you can’t tell from the number which one you’re calling. With 002Call that doesn’t matter, because both cost $0.02 per minute.

Most people calling the US from overseas are reaching a bank, an insurer, a government office or family. Watch out for these:

  • Toll-free numbers (800, 833, 844, 855, 866, 877 and 888) are free only inside North America. Many foreign mobile networks can’t connect to them at all, or charge international rates.
  • Banks and card issuers usually print an international collect or direct number on the back of the card. Use it if the toll-free number doesn’t connect.
  • The IRS runs a separate line for international callers, +1 267-941-1000. It isn’t toll-free and is staffed during US Eastern business hours.

Cheapest ways to call the US

  • WhatsApp, FaceTime or iMessage are free if the person you’re calling uses them. They can’t reach businesses or landlines.
  • Google Voice calls to US numbers are free, but you need a Google Voice account, and new personal accounts are only available in the US. If you already have one, use it.
  • Your home mobile plan usually charges international rates to call the US unless you have an add-on. Check the per-minute price before you dial.
  • 002Call costs $0.02 per minute to any US number from your browser. You don’t need an account in the US or a US phone number.
