You finally have a moment to call your friend in London, only to realize your phone is staring back at you like it\u2019s asking for a secret code. Do you start with 44? How the heck do I dial a + symbol? Do you keep the zero? Is this going to cost a fortune?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve been there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calling the UK from the US can seem complicated at first glance, but once you know how it works, it\u2019s surprisingly simple. In this guide, we\u2019ll walk you through every step: from decoding those mysterious dialing prefixes to saving on international call rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s bridge that Atlantic gap\u2026 one digit at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list port-content-table\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"#1\">Step-by-Step Guide to Calling the UK from the US<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#2\">Understanding UK Phone Number Formats<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#3\">What It Costs to Call the UK from the US<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#4\">NumberBarn Call Forwarding &amp; UK Numbers<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#5\">Stay Connected Across the Pond<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1\"><strong>Step-by-Step Guide to Calling the UK from the US<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you make an international call, you\u2019re essentially asking your phone network to open a few digital doors before your call reaches its destination. Here\u2019s how that sequence unfolds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list bloglist-style\">\n<li>Dial the US exit code \u2014 011<strong><br><\/strong>This is your way of telling the network, <em>\u201cI\u2019m calling outside the country now.\u201d<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nextiva.com\/blog\/how-to-call-the-uk-from-the-us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">It\u2019s the same no matter where you\u2019re calling from in the US<\/a>.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enter the UK country code \u2014 44<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Every country has its signature number. For the United Kingdom, it\u2019s 44. Whether you\u2019re calling England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland, this code gets you across the ocean.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add the UK area code \u2014 but drop the \u201c0\u201d<br><\/strong>Here\u2019s where most people trip up. Inside the UK, local calls start with a \u201c0.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/how-to-call-uk-from-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">But from the US, you\u2019ll need to remove it<\/a>. So, a London number like 020 7946 0018 becomes 011 44 20 7946 0018. The same applies whether you\u2019re calling a Manchester office or a Glasgow caf\u00e9.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dial the local subscriber number<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>After the area code comes the local number: the final stretch of your call.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Press call and connect<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>And just like that, you\u2019re dialing across the Atlantic. On mobile phones, you can even skip \u201c011\u201d and hold down 0 until you see a \u201c+\u201d. It\u2019s a universal shortcut for international calls.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table service-provider\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Type<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>UK (local)<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Dialed from US<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>London landline<\/td><td>020 7946 0018<\/td><td>011 44 20 7946 0018<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>UK mobile<\/td><td>07700 900123<\/td><td>011 44 7700 900123<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Toll-free (UK)<\/td><td>0800 123 4567<\/td><td>011 44 800 123 4567<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A little note: UK \u201ctoll-free\u201d numbers aren\u2019t always free from overseas.

Maybe you\u2019ve even memorized the +44. But what do all those numbers really mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of a UK phone number as an address:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list bloglist-style\">\n<li><strong>+44<\/strong> is the country<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>(0)<\/strong> is like the \u201cstreet entrance\u201d \u2014 used only if you\u2019re <em>already inside<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Area code<\/strong> tells the phone system where to send your call<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Subscriber number<\/strong> is the house you\u2019re knocking on<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how it looks in practice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table service-provider\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Type<\/strong><\/th><th><strong><strong>UK format<\/strong><\/strong><\/th><th><strong><strong>International (US \u2192 UK)<\/strong><\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>London landline<\/td><td>020 7946 0018<\/td><td>+44 20 7946 0018<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>UK mobile<\/td><td>07123 456789<\/td><td>+44 7123 456789<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Toll-free (UK)<\/td><td>0800 123 4567<\/td><td>+44 800 123 4567<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshworks.com\/explore-cx\/how-to-call-the-uk-from-the-united-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UK mobile numbers always start with a 7 once you drop the local zero<\/a>. Area codes range from London\u2019s 20 to Edinburgh\u2019s 131, while national and business lines use prefixes like 03xx or 08xx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve seen the pattern, UK numbers start to make sense. It\u2019s like learning the rhythm of a new language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pro Tip: Save contacts the smart way<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/ShowTopic-g186338-i17-k6535850-UK_to_UK_phone_dialing_using_a_US_cell_phone-London_England.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Always use the international \u201c+44\u201d format for saving international numbers in your phone.<\/a> Your future self will thank you when traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3\"><strong>What It Costs to Call the UK from the US<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you can connect, the next question is: <em>How much is this going to cost me?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer: it depends, but here\u2019s what you should know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional US carriers charge per minute. Rates vary by provider and by whether you\u2019re calling a landline or mobile. Costs often range between <strong>$0.05 and $1.50 per minute<\/strong>, depending on your plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table service-provider\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong><strong>Method<\/strong><\/strong><\/th><th><strong><strong><strong>Average Cost<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/th><th><strong><strong><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Major US Carrier<\/td><td>$0.50\u2013$1.50\/min<\/td><td>Reliable but pricey<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Google Voice<\/td><td>$0.01\u2013$0.10\/min<\/td><td>Wi-Fi required<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger<\/td><td>Free<\/td><td>Wi-Fi or data &amp; app required for caller and receiver<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you call the UK often with a major carrier, those numbers can add up quickly. That\u2019s why many travelers, expats, and remote workers use call forwarding or a virtual number to handle UK calls more affordably.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A virtual number, like Google Voice, allows you to use a Wi-Fi connection to make inexpensive calls with paid plans or credits for calling certain countries with your virtual number. Messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Telegram are a go-to for many personal users needing international connectivity, but require both the caller and receiver to use the app and Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4\"><strong>NumberBarn Call Forwarding &amp; UK Numbers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In some scenarios, NumberBarn call forwarding can help you save money on international fees and carrier phone bills. With a NumberBarn phone number, you can use call forwarding to forward incoming calls to other phone numbers around the world. You can also use a NumberBarn number to make outbound calls to various countries (like most carriers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numberbarn.com\/international-rates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">international rates<\/a> may apply for some locations).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if you were studying abroad in the UK for six months and wanted to save on your US carrier phone bills, you could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numberbarn.com\/keep-your-phone-number\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">port (transfer)<\/a> your phone number to NumberBarn and keep it active with a NumberBarn call forwarding plan. You could then forward it to a local UK number (in this case, most people purchase a local UK sim card). This allows you to keep your US number and let your US contacts reach you without needing to dial a UK number and pay international call charges. It also helps you avoid international roaming charges with a US carrier.<br><br>Or you could simply purchase another number with NumberBarn (they start at just $5) and activate call forwarding to the UK or internationally. (Forwarded calls to UK landlines are included in standard NumberBarn call forwarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numberbarn.com\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plans<\/a>.)<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, maybe your business has started expanding into the UK, but it\u2019s mainly headquartered in the US. You could maintain a UK presence with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numberbarn.com\/blog\/how-to-buy-a-uk-phone-number\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NumberBarn UK virtual number<\/a> for your local UK leads and clients, then forward it to your US number when stateside, without incurring extra fees for them or you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bonus Tips to Save on International Calls<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re traveling to the UK, Latin America, Europe or Asia, there are always ways to save a few bucks while staying connected internationally, so you can enjoy sipping tea in that charming cafe and catching up with your friends and family around the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list bloglist-style\">\n<li><strong>Buy a local number or virtual number <\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Get a SIM or eSIM card at your destination, use it for more affordable local calls.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use call forwarding<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Use international call forwarding to forward phone calls around the world.
