To call a landline using a cellphone, follow these steps:
- Open the phone app on your cellphone to access the dial pad.
- Dial the area code of the landline you want to call. The area code is a 3-digit number that corresponds to the town or city of the landline.
- Dial the landline number after the area code. The full number will be area code + landline number (for example, 919-xxxxxxx in the US).
- Press the call button (usually a green phone icon).
- Wait for the call to connect. If the landline number does not answer, you may be able to leave a voicemail if the landline has voicemail set up.
For international calls to a landline, you need to:
- Dial the exit code of your country (e.g., 011 for the US or use +).
- Dial the country code of the landline.
- Dial the area code (if applicable).
- Dial the local landline number.
- Press the call button.
Calling a landline from a cellphone is basically dialing the full number including area codes or country codes as needed, just as with calling any other phone number.
