The procedure for dialing an international number from a mobile phone is a bit, but fundamentally different from calling a subscriber within the country. You can dial a number registered in the same state as yours, both in the domestic and international format and at the same time get through. But for a successful call of a foreign subscriber a strictly international format is required.
You will need
- - mobile phone;
- - subscriber number.
Instruction manual
1
Unlock the keypad of your phone if you use the lock function. The procedure depends on the specific phone model you are using, a hint usually appears on the display after pressing any key.
2
Press the + key (plus). Wait until this symbol appears on the display. If after a few seconds this does not happen, push it again.
3
Use an alternative international format if desired. When you are in Russia, this is a combination of 810 digits. Using the plus is more convenient because by default it will provide an international dialing format, no matter where you are in, and whatever digits you may not know, this option is provided in it.
4
Dial the code of the country you want to call. For example, the code of Ukraine is 38, the UK is 44, etc.
5
Dial the code of the city or mobile operator of the called foreign subscriber. Most often this is a combination of three digits, but it can be more - four, five, and in some rare cases, six.
6
Dial the number of the called party. It usually consists of seven digits. General rule: the fewer digits in the code of the city or mobile operator, the more of them in the subscriber's number. Moreover, the total number of digits in the combination, including the code and phone number, in most cases is equal to ten.
7
After dialing the last digit, press the call key and wait for the connection.
8
Dial the local operator number if you use an IP-telephony card for a call (this allows you to save on international and long-distance calls).
9
Follow the voice prompts after waiting for the connection, or the instructions on the map. Most often, you must enter the code indicated on the card, then you can contact the telephone operator or dial the desired foreign number yourself from the keyboard of your phone. In the second case, the procedure is the same as described in steps 4 - 8: as a rule, you need to dial the country code, city code and subscriber number, in some cases you will also need numbers indicating the international nature of the call.
Useful advice
Calling a foreign number is the most expensive cellular service. If you are calling from a mobile phone using a card for cheaper calls, please note that you will have to pay not only for the international call at the tariffs of the operator whose card you are using (this money is deducted from its balance), but also for the local connection with the number indicated on the map. If possible, it is more advantageous to use a landline telephone or payphone for long-distance calls.
