Understanding Default Country Code in the Calilio Dialer

Making international calls shouldn't be complicated. Whether you're reaching out to clients across different countries or managing a global team, having to manually add country codes for every call can slow you down and lead to dialing errors.

Calilio's Dialer solves this problem with a smart country code feature that remembers your last dialed country code. This means you can make multiple calls to the same country without repeatedly selecting the country code each time.

This guide explains how the default country code feature works in the Calilio Dialer and how it can streamline your international calling experience.

What is the Default Country Code Feature?

The Default Country Code feature in Calilio's Dialer automatically saves and displays the country code you used for your most recent call. When you open the dialer, it shows the last country code you dialed, making it faster to place subsequent calls to numbers in that same country.


Key concept: The dialer "persists" (remembers) your latest dialed country code, so you don't have to reselect it for each call.



How the Country Code Selector Works?

Location of the Feature

The country code selector appears in the Calilio Dialer interface, typically located:

  • At the top of the dialer panel
  • To the left of the phone number input field
  • Displaying a flag icon, country code (e.g., +61, +1, +44), and a dropdown arrow

Visual Indicators

The selector shows three key elements:

  • Country Flag: Visual representation of the selected country
  • Country Code: The dialing prefix (e.g., +1 for USA/Canada, +44 for UK, +91 for India)
  • Dropdown Arrow: Indicates you can click to change the country

How Default Country Code Persistence Works?

Step 1: Making Your First Call

When you first open the Calilio Dialer:

  • The dialer displays a default country code (usually based on your account settings or location)
  • Click the country code dropdown to select your desired country
  • Enter the phone number (without the country code)
  • Make your call

Step 2: Automatic Code Persistence

After your call ends:

  • The dialer automatically saves the country code you just used
  • This becomes your new "default" country code
  • The next time you open the dialer, this country code is pre-selected

Step 3: Making Subsequent Calls

For your next call:

  • Open the dialer and you'll see the same country code from your last call
  • Simply enter the phone number and dial
  • No need to change the country code if calling the same country again

Step 4: Changing the Default

To dial a different country:

  • Click the country code dropdown
  • Select a new country from the list
  • This new country code now becomes your default until you change it again

How to Select a Country Code?

  • Locate the country code selector in the dialer panel (usually at the top left)
  • Click on the dropdown arrow next to the current country code
  • Browse or search for your desired country:
    • Scroll through the alphabetical list
    • Use search function if available
    • Look for country flags for quick identification
  • Click on your desired country to select it
  • Enter the phone number (without country code) in the dialer
  • Click the call button to place your call



Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Does the country code persist across different devices?

The persistence is typically device-specific. If you use Calilio on multiple devices, each may remember its own last-used country code.

  1. Can different team members have different default country codes?

Yes, the persistent country code is user-specific, so each team member can have their own default based on their calling patterns.

  1. How do I know which country code to use?

You can search online for country codes, or refer to the country list in Calilio's dropdown which shows country names alongside their codes.

  1. Does using the wrong country code cost extra?

Using the wrong code may result in failed calls or connecting to wrong numbers. Always verify before dialing. Calilio's per-minute rates vary by destination country.

  1. Can I disable this feature?
