If you are in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, how can you call a U.S. 800 number? |
Travel Info If you want to call a US 800 number from Amsterdam, you can't just call the US code and the 800 number. What do you need to do call the US 800 number? Travel Tips You can call the 800 number like any other US number, only it won't be a free call. You dial 00 1 800 + the number when you're in Amsterdam. First you'll hear a voice saying that the call won't be free, but that international rates apply, then the call will continue as normal. This may be expensive if you're calling from a hotel, in that case I would buy a calling card and use that to make the call. If you have a US based VOIP service you can bring your VOIP device, connect it to high speed internet, and then make your call as if you're in the US. In that case the call will be free. I do this all the time (let me know if you need more details on this). Source(s): personal experience Other Travel Tips Just to be complete: You need a : Phone with international access (some phones are limited) The number The international access code The country code In this case from Holland / Amsterdam: 00 1 800 ...... 00 being the international access code 1 being the US country code 800 and .... being the required number. |
