An '''international dialling prefix''' is a telephone dialling code used to dial '''''out'''''  of a country when making an international call. It's also called '''international access code''', '''International Direct Dialling (IDD) code''', '''exit code''', '''international call prefix''', etc.  

These codes are different from the unique [[List of country calling codes|country calling code]] every country has which is used to dial '''''in to''''' to that country.

When making a call between countries, the caller must first dial the international dialling prefix, then the destination country calling code, then (usually) an area code, then the local subscriber's phone number.
