Alternative Methods to Call Latvia from the US
You can also call Latvia from the US using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services, calling cards, Wi-Fi calling, or social media apps. These options can be useful when you want an easier or internet-based way to make international calls.
Calling Cards
Calling cards are prepaid cards used to make international calls at fixed or discounted rates. To start a call, you’ll need to dial the card’s access number, the PIN, and finally the subscriber’s phone number.
They can be useful for occasional calls, especially when you do not want to use your mobile carrier’s international plan. Before using one, check the rate for Latvia, connection fees, expiry date, and whether the card supports calls to Latvian landline and mobile numbers.
VoIP Services
VoIP services let you call Latvia from the US using an internet connection. Unlike social media apps, VoIP services enable you to call Latvian numbers directly, even when the person you are calling does not use the same app or service.
For businesses, VoIP can also make calls to Latvia easier to manage with features like call logs, voicemail, call forwarding, and shared numbers for teams. It is a practical option for frequent international calling because rates are often lower than standard carrier charges, and calls can be made from a computer, mobile phone, or desk phone.
Wi-Fi Calling
Wi-Fi calling lets you make calls through a Wi-Fi network instead of relying on a cellular signal. It can be helpful when you have weak mobile coverage but access to a stable internet connection.
You can use Wi-Fi calling to call Latvia from the US, but your carrier may still charge international rates. Before calling, check whether Wi-Fi calling is enabled on your device and confirm your carrier’s charges for calls to Latvian numbers.
Social Media Apps
You can use social media apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, or Viber to call someone in Latvia from the US. These apps are usually free for app-to-app calls, but both you and the receiver must have the same app installed and a stable internet connection. However, most social media apps cannot directly call Latvian landline or mobile numbers unless they offer a paid calling feature.
What’s the Best Time to Call Latvia from the US?
The best time to call Latvia from the US depends on whether you are making a business or personal call. For business calls, you can call between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM Latvia time. Since Latvia is usually 7 to 10 hours ahead of the US, this often means calling in the early morning from the US.
For personal calls, a better time is usually 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM in Latvia, when people are more likely to be free. That is usually around late morning to early afternoon in the US, depending on your time zone.

Things to Consider Before Calling Latvia from the USA
Correct Number Format
Always dial Latvia using the correct international format: 011 + 371 + 8-digit Latvian phone number. You do not require a separate area code, city code, or trunk prefix for international calls.
Check International Calling Rates
Before calling Latvia from the USA, review your provider’s international rates. Standard carrier calls can be expensive, especially for mobile numbers, so checking the cost in advance helps avoid unexpected charges.
Verify Toll-Free Number Access
Latvian toll-free numbers may not always connect from outside Latvia. Even when they do, your US carrier may charge the call as an international call, so confirm availability before dialing a toll-free number.
How Much Does It Cost to Call Latvia from the US?
The cost of calling Latvia from the US depends on your carrier, calling plan, and whether you are calling a landline or mobile number. Without an international calling plan, traditional carriers can be expensive. For example, AT&T may charge around $4 per minute, Verizon offers global calling at around $5 per month with lower per-minute rates, while T-Mobile can charge around $3 per minute without an international add-on.
So, calling Latvia from the US through a regular carrier can become costly, especially for longer or frequent calls. Some international calling plans lower the per-minute rate, but they may still require a monthly fee or plan subscription.
