Calling United States/Canada institutions from abroad
For people outside the US, the calls that matter are usually to a bank's fraud line, the IRS, an airline, or an immigration hotline. The catch is that almost all of them advertise a 1-800 toll-free number, and 1-800 numbers do not connect from outside North America. Every one of these institutions also has a regular +1 number that does work internationally, it is just harder to find.
DialVia connects to any US or Canadian landline or mobile from a browser tab, from about 2 cents a minute with the first call free. Current rates and the dial code are below, plus guides to the working numbers for the institutions people call most.

Why won't a US 1-800 number connect from abroad?
Toll-free 1-800, 888, 877 and 866 numbers are only routable within the North American numbering plan. From outside the US and Canada they either fail or are blocked by the local carrier. The institution's regular +1 area-code number works instead.
How do I call a US bank's fraud department from another country?
Look for the bank's international or 'collect from abroad' number, which is a standard +1 area-code line. For Chase it is +1-713-262-3300; for Bank of America it is +1-315-724-4022. The bank-specific guides list the rest.
How do I dial a US number from abroad?
Use +1, then the 3-digit area code, then the 7-digit number. On DialVia, select United States and type the 10 digits.
How do I call the US from Canada?
Dial 1 and the 10-digit number. Canada and the US share the North American Numbering Plan, so there is no exit code or country code to add, although many Canadian phone plans still bill it as long distance. Some US toll-free numbers don't accept calls from Canada; if one fails, use the company's regular number.
