IMPORTANT RULES
Dialing Rules for United States
Keep these rules in mind when dialing US numbers from Jordan to avoid delays or failed connections.
US area codes are three digits
Every US number is preceded by a three-digit area code (212, 310, 415, etc.). Area codes identify geographic regions or mobile networks. Always include the area code, even for local-sounding calls.
Local numbers are seven digits
After the area code, US local numbers contain exactly seven digits. The complete format is always 1 + (area code) + (seven-digit number).
No leading zero required
When dialing from Jordan to the US, do not add a leading 0. Simply start with 1 (the country code) and proceed directly to the area code.
Mobile and landline formats are identical
US mobile numbers and landlines follow the same dialing format (1 + area code + seven digits). You do not need to add any prefix to distinguish them.

Calling tips

- Remember daylight saving time shifts: the US changes clocks roughly mid-March and early November; Jordan does not.
- For important calls, confirm the recipient's local time before dialing.
- Mobile numbers in the US work exactly like landlines; no special prefix is needed.
- If the call drops, redial using the same full number (1 + area code + number).
Business etiquette
- Leave a clear voicemail with your name, organization, and callback number if the recipient is unavailable.
- Avoid calling on weekends or after 6 PM local US time unless it's urgent and pre-arranged.
- For video calls or follow-ups, offer scheduling options that respect the time difference.
- If calling for business, open with your full name and purpose to establish credibility across the time gap.

HELP & TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting & Restrictions
If your call doesn't connect or you encounter unexpected issues, review these common causes and solutions.
Call won't connect: Check your dialing format
Verify you've entered 1 + area code + seven-digit number with no leading zero. A missing digit or extra prefix will cause the call to fail. Test with a known US mobile or landline number first.
Number appears to ring but no answer
The number may be invalid, the recipient may be unavailable, or their voicemail system may not be activated. Try again during business hours in the recipient's US time zone. If the number is correct and the issue persists, contact the person via email or messaging to confirm.
Call drops after a short time
International calls can occasionally drop due to network congestion or carrier routing. Redial the same number; most connections restore immediately. Sayfone charges per-minute of connected time, so a brief dropped call costs only a few seconds.
Some special numbers (toll-free, 911) may not work
US toll-free numbers (starting with 800, 888, 877, etc.) and emergency numbers (911) are restricted for international calls. If you need to reach a toll-free service, look for an alternative local or international number on the company's website.
Recipient hears poor audio or echo
International audio quality depends on both caller and recipient networks. Ask the recipient to switch between WiFi and mobile data if available. Speak clearly and avoid background noise. If quality remains poor, try calling at a different time when network load may be lower.
