Calling from Benin to the United States

To call United States from Benin, follow this exact dialing sequence:

00 + 1 + Area Code + 7-digit phone number
  • 00 - Benin's international access code
  • 1 - United States country code
  • Area Code - Specific U.S. area code
  • 7-digit number - The local phone number

Example: To call (312) 555-0123 from Benin, dial: 00 1 312 555 0123

Useful tip: Skip the guesswork and costly wrong numbers by using a US phone number verification platform. If you know you should be calling to a specific U.S. city, let's say Pittsburgh, then you should use phone number lookup tool for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, or its area codes (412, 878).
