How to use the the United States country code
- Sign in to Talkala in your browser and allow microphone access when your browser prompts you.
- Enter +1, then the full local number for the US — drop domestic trunk prefixes that only apply inside the country ( reference shape: +1 + 3-digit area code + 7-digit local number).
- Confirm the quoted rate for your line type (landline vs mobile can differ), then place the call. Use Call US online to jump straight into the dialer with context for this destination.
Start with +1, then enter the area code, mobile prefix, or subscriber number exactly as the destination format requires. If the local number starts with a domestic trunk prefix, check the international format before keeping it.

Numbering note
This territory shares country code +1 with the wider NANP. Store ISO2/territory separately from the calling code. Mobile number portability means prefix-based carrier inference is unreliable.

Common questions
Related questions
What is the the United States country calling code?
The ITU country calling code for the US is +1. Add it before the local number when dialing internationally.
How do I dial the US from another country?
Use the international access prefix from where you are calling (often 00 or +), then +1, then the full local number without any domestic-only trunk prefix. Full shape for reference: +1 + 3-digit area code + 7-digit local number.
Do landline and mobile rates to the US differ?
Often yes. Talkala quotes separate retail rates for landline and mobile destinations when both are published. The rate that applies depends on the line type you dial.
What are Talkala's published rates to the US?
For the default public pricing origin (United States), landline is $0.02/min and mobile is $0.02/min. Open the the United States country guide for full context; rates update as the catalog changes.
When does the free first minute apply?
Eligible accounts with zero balance and no completed paid top-up yet may receive one server-enforced free first minute, capped at 60 seconds, before adding credit. It only applies when the priced route for that specific call is $0.99/min or less. That requires at least one published landline or mobile rate at or below that ceiling for your pricing origin. Landline and mobile can differ, so your call still must price at or below the ceiling.
What time zone is the US in?
Clocks commonly span: UTC-12:00 / UTC-11:00 / UTC-10:00 / UTC-09:00 / UTC-08:00 / UTC-07:00 / UTC-06:00 / UTC-05:00 / UTC-04:00 / UTC+10:00 / UTC+12:00 / UTC-12:00 / UTC-11:00 / UTC-10:00 / UTC-09:00 / UTC-08:00 / UTC-07:00 / UTC-06:00 / UTC-05:00 / UTC-04:00 / UTC+10:00 / UTC+12:00. For courtesy calling, 09:00-18:00 local office hours is a reasonable starting window when you do not know the recipient's hours.
