International calling to North America and the Caribbean.

If you're calling from the U.S., some countries in North America and in the Caribbean allow you to make an international call in the same way that you dial domestic — i.e., starting a +1 calling prefix for international numbers. Verizon offers this kind of 10-digit North American dialing for the Bahamas, Barbados and many other places.

International calling checklist.

There are, of course, some exceptions and cost considerations to note before making any international call:

  • Landline vs. mobile: Per-minute costs and some dialing instructions may vary based on whether or not you're calling a mobile or a landline number.
  • Pre-check the costs: For specific long-distance dialing instructions on each country and per-minute fees, enter the country name in the dialing instructions box.
  • Have a backup plan: When cellphone service is not available, you may be able to enable Wi-Fi calling, which allows you to make international calls over a wireless network. The same rates apply.

Other international communication options.

In some instances, it may be easier to communicate with others on messaging apps such as Skype, iMessage and WhatsApp.

Want the option to send a quick text? Depending on your Verizon plan, you can text internationally at no extra charge. For instance, both the Verizon Unlimited plan and Verizon Shared Data plans offer unlimited international texting to make it easier to communicate without calculating time zones.

Review the international calling plan specifics.

Do you know what you need from an international plan? Consider these scenarios:

  • Are you regularly contacting people internationally (outside of Mexico or Canada)?
    Consider a Verizon international plan to keep costs down. The Unlimited TogetherSM – World plan costs just $15 per month and allows unlimited calling to landline phones in more than 70 countries and mobile phones in nearly 40 countries. Users who sign up can also take advantage of discounted calling to more than 160 countries around the globe (a major plus if you don't always know where you'll need to call).
  • Do you need to frequently reach numbers in Mexico or Canada?
    Consider adding Unlimited Together℠ – North America, which allows you to call Mexico or Canada for just $5 per month. Adding the North America plan to your existing coverage means you can use the same unlimited minutes to make calls outside of the U.S.

    To add Unlimited Together℠ – North America, text N America to 4004 or click here.

    To add Unlimited Together℠ – World, text World to 4004 or click here.

  • Only making the occasional international call?
    You're able to dial direct but may be charged a per-minute fee in addition to your current plan.
