Let’s say you need to call your son in Toronto. Or your brother in Vancouver. Or maybe your visa agent in Ottawa. You pick up your phone, dial the number… and boom! Your balance is gone in seconds.

Sound familiar?

Whether you’re a teenager staying in touch with cousins abroad or a parent trying to call your children studying in Canada, international calls can get frustrating and expensive very quickly.

But don’t worry. We’re here to help. In this guide, we’ll guide you:

• How to call Canada from Ghana
• Why it can be tricky (and costly)
• The easiest, cheapest way to make those calls
• And why Slick’s unlimited Canada plan is the smartest choice you’ll find

Let’s jump in!

First Things First: How to Call Canada from Ghana (Manually)

If you’re using a regular Ghana SIM card, you’ll need to dial in this format:

00 + 1 + Area Code + Phone Number

Here’s what each part means:

• 00 = Ghana’s international exit code
• 1 = Canada’s country code
• Area code = The city or region (like 416 for Toronto, 604 for Vancouver)
• Phone number = The 7-digit local number

Example:

Let’s say your aunt lives in Toronto and her number is 416-555-1234. 

You’ll dial: 00 1 416 555 1234

Easy to remember, right?

But here’s the thing: just knowing how to dial isn’t enough. The real problem is what happens after you hit the call button

The Real Problem: International Calling Can Be a Mess

If you’ve ever tried to call Canada from Ghana using your regular phone line, you’ve probably faced one (or more) of these issues:

• Your credit runs out faster than you can say “hello.”
• The call drops halfway through the conversation.
• The person on the other side can’t hear you.
• You get charged per minute, and the bill adds up fast.
• Some numbers (like landlines) don’t even connect.

Whether you’re a teenager trying to wish your cousin a happy birthday or a grandparent checking in on family abroad, this kind of hassle is not what anyone wants.

So What Are Your Options?

Let’s take a quick look at the usual ways people try to call Canada from Ghana:

1. Using Local SIM

• It works… but it’s super expensive.
• Credit runs out quickly, especially for long calls.

2. Using Free Apps (WhatsApp, Messenger)

• These are free only if both people are using the app and have good internet.
• Doesn’t work with landlines.
• Poor quality if the network is weak.
• Not reliable for important calls like job interviews, visa agents, or bank calls.

3. Using Slick App
