For calls originating in the US (especially with conventional dial-up telephones), phone codes or international dialing codes may be needed when trying to make international phone calls (overseas phone calls).

Direct-dial:  Dial 011 (the international access code for the US) then the country code and/or city code, then the local number.

Operator-assisted call:  Dial 01, then the country code and/or city code, then the local number, then wait for the operator for assistance.

For those using VOIP with certain providers, such as Skype, one can have an online number that lets family and friends call you at local rates wherever you are in the world.

Some of these country codes (and/or city codes) include the following:
