🇬🇧United Kingdom Country Code +44

The country calling code for the United Kingdom is +44. Put it in front of the number when you call the United Kingdom from another country, and leave out the 0 that starts numbers inside the United Kingdom. +44 is shared with Guernsey, the Isle of Man and Jersey, so the digits after it tell them apart.

Dial your country's international access code (or press + on a mobile phone), then 44, then the number without its leading 0. For example, 07400 123456 inside the United Kingdom is dialled as +44 7400 123456 from abroad.

Only when you call from inside the United Kingdom. The 0 is the trunk prefix, used for calls within the country. From abroad you leave it out: 07400 123456 becomes +44 7400 123456.

Most phone numbers in the United Kingdom have 9 or 10 digits after the country code: mobile numbers have 10 and landlines 9 or 10. Some special-service numbers (toll-free, premium-rate) are shorter or longer.

To call another country from the United Kingdom, dial 00, then the country code you are calling, then the number. On a mobile phone you can press + instead of 00.
