// Calling Etiquette

United States Business Calling Etiquette

Cultural context for calling contacts in United States — know what to expect before you dial.

Network & carriers

The US shares +1 with Canada and 18+ Caribbean nations under the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) — the world's only country code covering multiple sovereign nations.

Numbering format

US numbers use a 3-digit area code plus a 7-digit local number (10 digits total), with no leading digit to drop when dialing internationally.

Calling culture

Business calls are typically expected between 9 AM and 5 PM in the recipient's local time zone — the US spans six time zones, so confirm which one your contact is in before dialing.

Good to know

The 555 prefix, familiar from movies and TV, is reserved for fictional numbers and directory assistance — it was never assigned to real subscribers.
