International Dialling Code

A country has a unique dialling code that must be used at the beginning of any telephone number, in order to make a successful call to a person or business in that country when calling from elsewhere in the world. For example, the international dialling code for the UK is +44, therefore the usual format for dialling our offices in the UK from abroad would be +44 (0)1904 217765.

This is an essential service for any organisation needing to make international calls to it’s customers or suppliers around the world. Our method can be incorporated into internal systems such as purchasing software, CRM and telemarketing systems to help provide staff with correct international dialling codes, thus saving time.

Any company with a customer account/registration section on their website can also benefit, through the pre-populating of input forms on websites and apps with the international dialling code once the customer has completed their address. This not only saves the customer time but also ensures greater accuracy of the telephone information for any future customer service and marketing activity.
