Hi Tonizekoff,

The call doesn’t work because you’ve been adding the city code. In most countries outside North America cell phone numbers are not geographic. Instead they are allocated a certain number range (no area/city codes are needed). In Afghanistan for example all cell numbers start with 7. To make a long story short you should dial 011 93 70 ??? 0138.

I hope this helps. If it still doesn’t work let me know by replying to this post.
