Canada is one of the largest states in terms of territory. From various sides it borders on the USA, France, Denmark, and washes it three famous oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic. Today, there are quite a few Russians living in Canada, and therefore former compatriots often need to contact them by telephone.
Canada, like any other country in the world, has its own unified telephone code, which is listed as number 1. However, before making a call, decide on the time zone so that your call is appropriate and correct. Time difference with Moscow: - 8 hours.
Dialing a number
When dialing a phone number, remember that the interval between pressing the numbers should not exceed 5 seconds, otherwise the number may be reset and you will have to repeat the combination again.
So, if you are calling from a landline phone, that is, a landline, then first dial the combination 8-10, which will allow you to access international access. Listen to the system's answer, because code 10 can be changed to another, it all depends on the operator connecting you to another country. Then feel free to add Canada code 1, and then the city code you are calling, and the subscriber's phone number itself.
It is worth noting that the number of a cellular subscriber is always indicated without the 8 familiar to Russians at the beginning.
If you are using a mobile phone, the combination for communication will be as follows: Canada code 1, area code and subscriber number. When dialing a phone, in some cases, a plus sign is sometimes indicated at the beginning, and only then the state code.
Features of Canada numbers
Landline numbers consist of a different number of characters, for example, in Vancouver, a city number consists of 9 digits, and in Ottawa, it consists of 7.
On the Internet, you can always find special alphabetical directories of cities in Canada, where the telephone code of the city you are interested in will be indicated.
There is also a slight difference between countries in landline dialing. It's just that sometimes the number 10 is used to access international access, and sometimes the number 0. That is, the combination is dialed as follows: number 0, then a dial tone, then 0 again, Canada code, area code. Most often, such a combination is used for calls from the territory of Ukraine, in Russia, the combination is 8-10 or 8 and another operator.
Considering all of the above data, you should know in advance only the code of your operator and the code of the city to which you are going to call. And if you use a mobile phone, everything will be much easier, you just need to understand whether you should press the plus sign at the beginning.
