But here&#8217;s the catch \u2013 US has over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.50states.com\/areacodes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">300 area codes<\/a> so getting the right US prefix phone number is everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re calling someone in the US, getting the format of the US phone number right, including the United States country code, is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re not too sure about the US phone number country code format, this article is going to be your guide for making calls to the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-call-the-us-from-your-cellphone\"><strong>How to call the US from your cellphone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.itelecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/US_states_and_phone_number-min.jpg\" alt=\"US states and US phone number example\" class=\"wp-image-2360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.itelecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/US_states_and_phone_number-min.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.itelecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/US_states_and_phone_number-min-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like other countries, the US phone number country code format has its own phone number format. When you dial, you&#8217;re basically calling the area code for that country from overseas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not too sure about how the US phone number format, how to call a US phone number or the US country code phone number format, just follow along with these steps,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1-dial-the-international-exit-code\"><strong>Step 1. Dial the international exit code<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Th international exit code helps you call a US telephone number from your phone, whether it&#8217;s a landline or a cell. Make sure you enter the USA exit code before anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To call US from abroad, you&#8217;ve got two options here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ITC-listitems\">\n<li>Type +1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type 001.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2. Enter the USA country code<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What is the country code for US phone numbers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The country code for US phone numbers is 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will let you make calls to the US from outside the country. Remember, a country code usually consists of 1 or 2 digits, and you&#8217;ll need to dial it after the exit code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3. Enter the right area code<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An area code ties them to specific geographical regions, such as cities or states. Some popular area codes,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>States<\/th><th>Area codes<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Chicago<\/strong><\/td><td>312, 773, 872<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Miami<\/strong><\/td><td>305, 786<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4: Dial the local phone number<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve entered the appropriate area code, dial the local phone number of the person or business you&#8217;re trying to reach. It&#8217;s always good to double check the number before placing the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, the complete US phone number format with country code order will look like,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(Exit code) +1 (XXX) YYY-ZZZZ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ITC-listitems\">\n<li>Exit code -&gt; Varies depending on your location<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>+1 -&gt; United States country code<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>XXX -&gt; The area code&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>YYY-ZZZZ -&gt; 7-digit local phone number you want to call.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"area-codes-in-the-us\"><strong>Area codes in the US<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The USA is divided into various dialing areas known as area codes.
