Does anybody know how to call international?

Question

how come it says "your call cannot be completed as dialed" before i even finish punching in the international phone number? im calling from a land phone and i have international calling included in my plan so i dont need a phone card. but why does it say that? am i supposed to wait for some cue after i punch in country code or something? does the star (*) or pound (#) buttons have any effect?

Answer 1

dial 011, then the international phone number.  Example, if you want to call someone in Santiago, Chile, you dial:

011 (international prefix)

56 (Chile's country code)

2 (Santiago's "area code")

5551234 (the home/business phone number)

Answer 2

You also need to know that when calling to countries where the national area codes start with a zero, you need to omit that zero when calling in from overseas.

For example, if you were trying to call the London, U.K. number [phone], then from the U.S. you would dial it as 011-44-20-7222-1234 (where 011 is the American prefix for an international call, and 44 is the country code for the U.K.).

Answer 3

You need to dial 011 to get out.

Answer 4

Depending on the country most have a 2-3 digit number you have to dial first then 011 before you put in the actual phone number.

Answer 5

First you need to dial 011 followed by the country code, city code, then the actual phone number.  (If you are calling from the USA).
