If you’re living, working, or traveling abroad, chances are you’ll eventually need to contact a government office back home. Whether it’s renewing documents, filing taxes, managing benefits, or checking your immigration status, most agencies provide toll-free numbers — but here’s the catch:
👉 Toll-free numbers don’t usually work from outside the U.S. or Canada.
That’s where Connect-EZ helps. With our toll-free calling service, you can call government hotlines from abroad instantly over Wi-Fi or data — no roaming, no complicated dialing, and no app download required. Just enter the number (without dashes), click Call Now, and connect.
