What to check before using the 44 country code
Country codes are only one part of an international phone number. Exit codes, area codes, mobile prefixes, and local numbering rules can change how the final number should be dialed.
Exit code or plus format
On a mobile phone, the plus sign usually replaces exit codes such as 00 or 011. From a landline, use the international access code for the country you are calling from, then 44.
Country calling code, dial code, or prefix
People may call 44 the United Kingdom country code, country calling code, phone code, dial code, or international prefix. In each case, use +44 before the rest of the United Kingdom number.
Mobile phone or landline
After +44, the next digits may be an area code, mobile prefix, service prefix, or local number. Check whether you are calling a mobile phone or landline because rates can differ.
UK area codes
UK area codes normally lose the leading 0 after +44. For example, a London number that starts 020 locally is written with +44 20 internationally.
UK mobile numbers
UK mobile numbers commonly start with 07 in domestic format and +44 7 in international format. A UK mobile phone number written as 07XXX XXXXXX usually becomes +44 7XXX XXXXXX.
London 020 international code
London uses 020 domestically. For international calls, remove the leading 0 and write London numbers with +44 20 followed by the local digits.
Dial 44 step by step
Use plus format when possible: dial the UK country code 44, add the UK area code or mobile prefix without the leading 0, then add the remaining local number step by step.
Exit code and internet-based calling
If plus format is not available, use your local exit code before 44. Voipfibre supports online calling from app, browser, SIP, or access-number options where available, and regular UK mobile and landline calls should be checked against the live rate.
