To make a local or long-distance phone call using a landline house phone, follow these steps in the United States:
Making a Local Call
Pick up the receiver: Ensure you hear a dial tone.
Dial the local phone number: Enter the 7-digit phone number without the area code.
Example: If you're calling 555-1234, just dial that number.
Note: In some regions, dialing the area code (even for local calls) may be required due to area code overlays.
Making a Long-Distance Call (within the same country)
Pick up the receiver: Ensure you hear a dial tone.
Dial the long-distance code: This is usually 1 in many countries like the U.S. and Canada.
Dial the area code: Enter the 3-digit area code of the recipient.
Dial the 7-digit phone number: Enter the phone number.
Example: If you're calling (212) 555-1234, dial 1-212-555-1234.
Making an International Call
Pick up the receiver: Ensure you hear a dial tone.
Dial the international exit code: In the U.S., this is 011.
Dial the country code: Each country has a unique code (e.g., 44 for the U.K., 91 for India).
Dial the area code (if applicable): Some countries require an area code, while others don’t.
Dial the phone number: Enter the remaining part of the phone number.
Example: For calling a number in the U.K. (e.g., +44 20 7946 1234), you would dial 011-44-20-7946-1234.
