Countries you can call by default

The Region where your instance is created determines which countries you can call by default.

For a list of all the countries available for outbound calling, see Amazon Connect pricing.

If you already have an instance, the countries that you are allowed to call may be different that those listed in the following sections because we have changed the service quotas over time.

  • +447

Before you can dial these UK mobile numbers, you must submit a service quota increase request.

Japan mobile numbers with the following prefixes are not allowed by default:

  • +8170, 8180, and 8190

Before you can dial these Japan mobile numbers, you must submit a service quota increase request.
