Is there a special country prefix for phone numbers in the US or for the UK?

I know in the US it%26#39;s (area code) prefix-number, but is there anything you would put on the front of that when dialing the US from the UK? How about from the US to the UK?

Answer:

From (US city) to UK

Ex.

011- 011 is the international prefix used to dial somewhere outside of U.S.A..

44- 44 is the international code used to dial to U.K..

20- 20 is the local area or city code used to dial to London.

X - X is the local number you wrote. Exchange X with your number

From UK to (US city)

Ex.

00- is the international prefix used to dial somewhere outside of U.K..

1 - 1 is the international code used to dial to U.S.A..

213 - There are multiple city/area codes in use for Los Angeles. If 213 does not work, you may try the others. The area codes used are: 213/310/323/626/818.

X - X is the local number you wrote. Exchange X with your number Easy answer use Skype it cuts the guessing out for the International dialling code. It also tells you how the phone number should be entered.

It%26#39;s cheaper to use too, even free if you speak to someone on Skype.
