US Country Code

The area code in the United States is a three-digit numerical code used to identify specific geographic regions within the country for the purpose of routing telephone calls. Each area code corresponds to a particular area, city, or state.

United States country code: +1

To call the United States from outside the country, follow these steps:

1. Dial the International Access Code: Dial the international access code of the country you’re calling from. This is often denoted as “+” or “00” and is used to initiate an international call.
2. Dial the US Country Code: The country code for the United States is “1”. After dialing the international access code, dial “1” to indicate that you’re calling the US.
3. Dial the Area Code: Enter the three-digit area code of the specific region or city you’re calling. This helps route the call to the correct location within the US.
4. Dial the Local Phone Number: Finally, enter the local phone number of the person or business you’re calling. This is usually a seven-digit number. Make sure to include the full number, including any necessary prefixes (such as “0” or “1”) if applicable.

Here’s an example for calling a US number from a country with the international access code “00”:

00 (International Access Code) + 1 (US Country Code) + Area Code (214) + Local Phone Number (999-9999) Remember to replace “Area Code” and “Local Phone Number” with the actual numbers you’re calling. Keep in mind that international calling rates may vary depending on your location and service provider, so it’s a good idea to check with your provider for specific details before making the call.
