Question

What if I'm located in the U.S. but dialing a U.S. number from a UK mobile phone?

Community Answer

You will follow the instructions above for dialing a U.S. number from a UK phone, no matter where you are. However, it's likely that a UK mobile phone will not be active in the U.S. unless you have an international mobile plan set up, or you get a local U.S. SIM card plan for the phone. If you are using a U.S. SIM service, you'll dial another U.S. number normally, without the "00" and "1" required for making an international call.

Can I call the USA from the UK on an Android phone?

Community Answer

The operating system does not affect the call; it depends on whether your phone service provider supports international calls.
