Frequently asked questions
How do I call my insurance company from abroad?
Look for an international emergency number on your policy documents or insurance card. This is usually a standard phone number (not a toll-free number) that works internationally. Use WorldDial to dial it from your browser at low per-minute rates.
Do insurance 0800 or 1-800 numbers work internationally?
No. Toll-free numbers (0800 in the UK, 1-800 in the US) typically do not work from outside their home country. Always find the direct international number on your policy.
What if I have a medical emergency abroad and need to call my insurer?
Look for the '24/7 emergency assistance' number on the back of your insurance card or policy booklet. Call it via WorldDial from any browser. Most major insurers have a direct international line for exactly this scenario.
Can I use WorldDial to call my insurance company from anywhere?
Yes. WorldDial works from any browser in any country. You can call any insurance company's phone number (mobile, landline, or national rate) at low per-minute rates.
Is WorldDial reliable for emergency calls?
WorldDial uses Twilio's global carrier network for reliable connections. For genuine emergencies, always call local emergency services first (112 in Europe, 911 in North America). WorldDial is ideal for non-emergency calls to your insurer from abroad.
