Answer 1

i think with mobile phones you just call the origanal number and the provider should patch you through.

Answer 2

The easiest way to call phone numbers is to use the standard international dialing format:

1. Enter a “+”.

2. Followed by the country code.

3. for a list of country codes.

4. Followed by the area code.

5. Followed by the local number you wish to call.

This method of dialing will always work—no matter where you are calling from or calling to—as long as you have the correct country code, area code, and local number.

Lets walk through an example:

Your friend lives in the UK, and her number is [phone]. What should you enter into the Messenger input box?

1. + (always start with a plus)

2. 44 (The country code for the UK)

3. 20 (The area code with the leading '0' removed. See below for more details)

4. 73565000 (The local number)

Using the above information, enter [phone] into the Messenger input box and have a nice chat with your friend!

Note: The leading '0' in front of the area code (020) is not included in the number. This is standard practice for international dialing. If you’re unsure whether to drop the 0 or not, try the call without the 0 and then with the 0 if the first call didn't work (just a thought).

Answer 3

call the operator and ask how to make the call. good luck

Answer 4

Dial 011 for an international line and then 49 for the German country code.  You will also need the city code.  However, is his cell phone German or American?  If it's American, you won't reach it the same way and it probably doesn't work in Germany.  Your best bet is for him to call you.

Answer 5

Call Germany From the USA

Dialing Instructions

011 + 49 + City Code + Phone Number

Answer 6

local & cell phones in Germany all begin w/ a ZERO... when dialing w/ a country code, you have to drop the 0.

Example...

calling the house from work, it's 06373-######

family in the US calling, it's 011-49-6373-######
