Dialling a long-distance telephone to Canada is nearly the twin from anywhere in the earth.
Under the "North American Numbering Deal" (NANP), telephone numbers in 19 North American nations -- including the USA, Canada, the Bahamas and Jamaica -- are formatted identically, which money calling Canada is relatively light whether you vital in a participating country. Provided you don't, the numbers you dial are nearly the equivalent, onliest you'll necessitate to dial an "Way out regulation" to dial elsewhere your kingdom (whether you're calling from a land limit) or Canada's "society code" if you use a mobile phone to make the call.
Instructions
1. Check the number for proper formatting, specifically the correct number of digits. As is the case with numbers in the USA, Bermuda and the Dominican Republican, Canadian phone numbers follow the format "1-area code-XXX-XXXX," the "area code" being a three-digit sequence that corresponds to the location.
2. Make a long-distance call to Canada from within North America or North American countries not participating in NANP, such as Cuba and Mexico. Whether you use a mobile phone or a land line, simply dial "1" plus the area code plus the seven-digit number. You would dial the number "902-555-1234" as "1-902-555-1234."
If you can't get a plus sign to display, key in "00" instead. You would call the number "902-555-1234," For instance, by dialing "+1-902-555-1234" or "001-902-555-1234."3. Call Canada long-distance from a country outside of North America or a NANP non-participant. Dial the exit code ("011") if you're calling from a land line, then the area code and number. If you're using a mobile phone, dial a "+" by holding down the "0" until it appears, then enter the area code and phone number.
