Start calling the UKGetting your UK calls answered
Your call rings in the UK. Your number decides if they answer.
UK networks check the number shown on calls from abroad. Send your own and the phone rings with your country on it. Borrow a UK number and the call arrives blank, or not at all.
- Your own numberRings, and shows who you are
Your number from where you are, shown as an international call. Nothing pretends to be local.
- A UK mobile number you do not holdArrives as No Caller ID
Ofcom's July 2026 guidance tells UK networks to hide numbers like this. Many people never answer.
- A UK landline number you do not holdNever rings at all
Since 2023 UK networks block calls from abroad that show a UK landline number they cannot trust.
Send a number that is yours, and add a UK number if customers need to ring you back. Numbers from $0.99 a month.
See UK numbersWhat calls to the UK cost
$0.0175 a minute, and you pay for the seconds you talk.
You pay from the first second to the last, with nothing to connect and no monthly charge. A UK phone that never picks up costs you nothing.

Not every +44 number is a normal UK call.
01, 02, 03 and 07 ring normally from abroad. The rest can fail, forward or charge extra, and three islands share the code without being the UK.

TVSeen a UK number in a film or TV show? Ofcom keeps 020 7946 0XXX, 07700 900XXX and 01632 960XXX for drama, so those never ring anyone. Our examples use them for the same reason.

Built for people who call the UK from outside it.
- FAMFamilies with people in the UKFrom the US, Canada, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Australia or anywhere with internet.
- B2BOffices outside the UK with UK customersSupport and sales lines that ring UK customers, with a UK number they can call back.
- IDCallers whose UK calls arrive as No Caller IDSend your own number and the UK phone shows it, country and all.
Not the right choice if
- You hoped to borrow a UK number as caller ID. UK networks hide or block it, and we only send numbers that are yours.
- You mostly ring UK 084, 087 or 09 numbers. Many do not take calls from abroad, and our price list does not cover service or premium numbers yet.

Reviewed 27 October 2026.
What is the country code for the UK?
The UK country code is +44. Drop the first 0 of the UK number: 07700 900123 becomes +44 7700 900123, and 020 for London becomes +44 20. Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man share +44 but are priced separately.
How do I call the UK from the USA?
Dial 011 44, then drop the 0 that starts the UK number: 011 44 20 XXXX XXXX for London, 011 44 7700 900123 for a mobile. A cell phone or softphone takes +44 in place of 011 44. London is usually 5 hours ahead of New York.
How do I call the UK from Canada?
Canada also dials out with 011: 011 44 161 XXX XXXX reaches Manchester, or +44 161 from a cell phone.
How do I call the UK from India or Pakistan?
Both dial out with 00: 00 44 131 XXX XXXX for Edinburgh. On a mobile, +44 replaces the 00 44.
How do I call the UK from Nigeria?
Nigeria dials out with 009: 009 44 7700 900123 for a UK mobile, or +44 7700 900123 typed on a phone.
How do I call the UK from Australia?
Australia uses 0011: 0011 44 20 7946 0XXX for London. Typed on a phone, +44 20 does the same.
What does +44 (0) mean on a UK number?
The bracketed 0 is for people already in the UK. Calling in from abroad you skip it, so +44 (0)20 7946 0XXX becomes +44 20 7946 0XXX. The checker above drops the (0) on its own.
What is the cheapest way to call the UK?
If the person has internet and the same app, an app call is free. To ring a UK phone number directly, pay per minute: with us $0.0175 a minute to UK mobiles and landlines, billed by the second, and nothing to connect.
Do UK mobiles cost more to call than landlines?
Not with us. On our price list one rate covers every UK mobile and landline.
Can I call a UK 0800 number from abroad?
Often not. 0800 and 0808 numbers are free for callers inside the UK, and many companies do not accept them from abroad. Use the company's 01, 02 or 03 number instead.
Is a UK number starting 070 a mobile?
No. 070 numbers are personal numbers that forward calls elsewhere, often at a high price. Real UK mobiles start 071 to 079.
Are Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man part of the UK for calls?
They share +44 and you dial them like UK numbers, but they are separate places with their own networks and prices. Their rate comes with our final price list.
Why does my call to the UK show no number, or not ring?
Usually because the caller ID is a UK number the caller does not hold. A UK landline number sent from abroad is blocked, and under Ofcom's July 2026 guidance a UK mobile number that cannot be verified is shown as No Caller ID. Send your own number.
Can I use LinkedSIP as a SIP trunk for UK calls?
Yes, from a PBX anywhere. Create a LinkedSIP trunk in 3CX, FreePBX, Asterisk or Yeastar and send +44 calls down it. Keep a UK line for the office itself, because 999 calls are not carried.
What time is it in the UK?
The UK is on GMT (UTC+0) in winter and BST (UTC+1) in summer. Clocks went back on 25 October 2026 and go forward on 28 March 2027.
Every UK phone, one rate. 1,142 minutes for $20.
Make an account with your email and pay $20 in crypto. After that, +44 and the UK number minus its leading 0 is all you dial. How sign-up and top-ups work.
