Dialing Scotland from the United States requires a specific dialing format to ensure a successful connection. To initiate a call, follow these steps:
- Start with the exit code: Begin by dialing 011, which is the exit code for international calls from the US.
- Enter the country code: Next, dial 44, the country code for Scotland.
- Omit the leading zero: If the Scottish phone number you’re calling starts with a zero, omit it when dialing from the US.
- Dial the local number: Finally, enter the remaining digits of the Scottish phone number.
For example, to call a landline in Edinburgh, you would dial: 011 44 131 XXX XXXX
