3 Simple Ways To Call France From The Us

If you have a cell phone from the US and you are trying to call another US number from France, you don’t need to dial the exit code.

If you do accidentally enter the wrong country code, you’ll need to hang up and start the process over by first dialing the exit code.

There is also an area code 08, but this is reserved for special numbers like corporate numbers, toll free numbers, and premium rate numbers. Make sure you’re not being charged extra without your knowledge if you dial a 08 area code in France. 09 is the area code reserved for internet access providers.

Compare the rates of different cards to find the best option for your needs. Check to see if there is an expiration date. If there is, make sure you will use the card before it expires.

Some calling cards may only list the PIN number on the receipt of purchase. Online calling cards may provide a PIN or ask you to create one. Make sure you don’t forget or lose it!

There may be a brief pause or a voice message stating that the call is being connected.

Some calling cards have a number you can call to check your remaining time balance. You can also refill some calling cards over the phone or online using a credit or debit card.

If you are calling a landline or cell phone in France, you will need to dial 33 (the country code for France), the area code, and then the phone number to connect. You will need a special adapter to use a landline to place VoIP calls.

Many social media platforms, like Facebook, allow you to call other people by using their application to call another user’s profile. Some apps will only allow you to call other users of the app rather than placing a call to a landline or cell phone. If you are using an app to call a cell phone or landline in France, you will need to dial the US exit code (011) and the country code for France (33) before you dial the area code and phone number.

For video call programs like FaceTime, you do not need to enter an exit code, but you do need to enter the country code (33 for France) as a prefix to the phone number to place a video call.
