How to dial the United States
United States numbers are dialled as +1 followed by the national number, exactly as written.
There is no trunk prefix to remove. The 1 dialled before a long-distance call inside the country is the country code itself, so it is ten digits after +1.
A number written in the United States as (201) XXX-XXXX is dialled from abroad as +1 201 XXX XXXX.
From this tab there is no exit code and no carrier: type it starting +1 and the price appears before anything dials.
Dialling it from an ordinary phone instead
Dial the exit code for where you are standing, then 1, then the number.

04Before you rely on it
Three things that are true on every call
- The keypad stays live after it connects. Press 1 for English, key in an account number, enter a reference.
- Hold is billed per minute like any other minute. The running cost sits on screen while you wait.
- By default, the recipient sees an Airlophone number. Need them to recognise yours? Set up Verified Caller ID with a number you own. The dialer confirms whether it is available for the route before you call. Verify your number. Rent a number if you also need callbacks.

How do I call the United States from the US?
From a US or Canadian phone, dial 1, then the ten-digit number. From the UK, Ireland and most of Europe dial 00 1 first, and from Australia 0011 1. There is no trunk prefix to remove. The 1 dialled before a long-distance call inside the country is the country code itself, so it is ten digits after +1. For example, a number written in the United States as (201) XXX-XXXX is dialled from the US as 1 201 XXX XXXX. On Airlophone there is no exit code at all: the call is placed from a browser tab, so you type the number starting with +1 and the price for that exact number appears before anything dials.
Do calls to the United States actually get answered?
Across 278 calls Airlophone has carried to the United States, 73% were answered, with a median of 7s of ringing before the far end picked up. Of the calls our users told us about afterwards, 16% reached a person rather than voicemail or a dead end in a phone menu. These are measurements of calls that already happened, not a guarantee about the next one.
Do I need an app or a SIM card to call United States?
No. Airlophone runs in a browser tab, so there is nothing to install and no SIM to buy. The person you call needs nothing either: the call arrives on the ordinary phone network, so their phone simply rings, whether it is a landline or a mobile and whether or not they have internet.
