Instruction manual
1
For an international call, you need to know not only the phone number, but also a special country code. If you weren’t informed, you can find it on the Internet. For example, a list of phone codes is in the corresponding Wikipedia article.
2
Choose the appropriate time for the call, given the time difference between your city and the place you are calling. Also, with the cancellation of the transfer of watches in Russia, additional complexity was added, because most countries still change the time to winter. Therefore, in winter, the time difference between these states and Russia increases by an hour.

If you are going to make a landline call, first dial “8”, wait for a beep, then “10” - country code - phone number. But such a call is quite expensive. You can save if you buy a special IP-telephony card. It can be purchased, for example, at the nearest post office.

If the call is urgent, you can make it from your mobile phone. To do this, you will need to dial the number like this: "+" - country code - phone number. The cost of such a call depends not only on the operator, but also on the tariff. It can be clarified in the call center of the organization that provides you with mobile services.

You can also make cheap calls over the Internet. To do this, install Skype on your computer. Its Russian-language version can be downloaded for free on the official website. Register in the system. Then you have two possibilities. If your friend abroad already has a Skype account, you can call him for free. If not, you will need to call his landline or cellular number. Before that, replenish your account in the system using a plastic card or electronic wallet. Then study the tariffs for calls to various parts of the world presented on the company's website. After that, log into the system under your nickname, select the country where you are going to call from the list, dial the subscriber number and click on the phone icon.
When using Skype, please note that communication may be unstable. Therefore, this program is more suitable for personal rather than business calls.
