How do I make a collect call from Serbia to US number?

Question

I am visiting Serbia and need to make a collect call for some banking. I have been locked out of my online account, so that's not an option. I have a collect number to dial, but when I dial it, the call just ends. I have been told there are no operators here to assist with this.

If you live in Serbia, can you please advise me on how to call a USA number collect?

Thanks in advance !

Answer 1

Indeed, very few operators services in Serbia, everything is digital switchboards and machine recorded messages.

But you can make a collect call to any place, including the US number. Just dial 901 - it's a number for International Calls of the Telekom Srbija.

You will be connected to the operator. They are all multilingual, and English is the most common language used.

The operator will ask you to give the number and the name of the person in the US you wish to call, then your number here and your name. They will call you back (from 901) in a couple of minutes if the other party agrees to take the charges for the call.

Hope it works fine for you:-)
