Ratebuster guide to international dialling codes

One way to make cheap international calls with Ratebuster even cheaper is to ensure you use the correct international dialling codes. Then you won't waste time and money being misconnected or failing to connect at all.

If you're cheap calling with Ratebuster from the UK, the international dialling code will start with "00" - the number which automatically routes calls overseas. It will then be followed by a number which routes your cheap call to the region, town or city that you're calling abroad.

For example, when you're making a cheap international call to Australia, you should dial '00+61' followed by the destination number. However, just like the UK - regions and cities will have their own dialling codes. So to cheap call Melbourne, Australia - the international dialling code would be 00+61+39 followed by the destination number.
