# Can I make international calls?

## Question

Can I make international calls with 8x8 Work?

## Applies To

- 8x8 Work
- International Dialing

## Answer

Metered international calling is available to all 8x8 Work customers, though Unlimited and Global extension plans include free calls to landlines in select countries. For more information, see 8x8′s [International Calling](https://www.8x8.com/why-8x8/global) page.

Calls can be made using your **8x8 desk phone**, as well as the **8x8 Work for Desktop** and **Mobile** ([Android](http://play.google.com/store/apps/details) | [iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/8x8-virtual-office/id348177448)) apps.

- For calls to countries within the [**North American Numbering Plan**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Numbering_Plan), dial: **1 + area code + 7 digit local number** (same as dialing out to another US state)
- For calls to most other countries from the US dial: **011 + country code + phone number**

For additional guidelines on dialing to and from specific international destinations, see [**HowToCallAbroad.com**](http://www.howtocallabroad.com/).

### Problems dialing internationally?
