How to call from Canada

International calls from Canada are basically the same as the international calls from the United States if you are using a phone card. Those phone cards have either local Canadian access numbers or toll free access and may be used from regular land lines, mobile phones, pay phones and hotels. All cards come with complete dialing instructions.
