    Hello,

    If you have a smartphone with data included you can download a VoIP application such as Skype or Rebtel and use it to place international calls over your broadband Internet connection from mobilicity (you can also use wifi where available).

    If you have a regular phone and no data you can still use the above or other prepaid service such as https://www.nobelcom.com/ by dialing a local access number and then placing your call to Ethiopia (the way calling cards work).

    Hello,

    No, your number should work fine without adding or removing any extra digits. They will of course pay international charges to reach you.

    Hello,

    You can always call using your wireless or wireline provider, paying whatever fees they charge. There are many more advanced services you can use, other than calling cards. For example Skype or Rebtel will let you install a smart phone app and easily dial calls at convenient rates.

    Hello,

    40 is Romania’s country code. I do not recognize the rest of the number. Romania uses mostly 9 digit telephone numbers starting with 2 or 3 for landlines and 7 for mobile phones. You have an 8 digit number starting with 5. More info below:

    FYI the UK uses country code 44.

    Hello,

    To call or text between the two Canadian phones you need to use either +1 yyy xxx xxxx or 00 1 yyy xxx xxxx, where yyy is the Canadian area code.

    In regard to roaming and charges. I am not familiar with the plans offered by your provider. Generally, in order to use a cell phone abroad, either for texts or phone calls, you need a roaming plan. So you can’t avoid roaming charges if you want to use your phone abroad.

    Or maybe some of the infrastructure needed to connect calls has been damaged. If it’s a mobile phone you’ve been calling, try also sending a text message. Other than this I don’t know what else to suggest.

    You don’t need to add another 1 to the cell number – we show this detail (starting digit) so people can tell a cell number from a landline. It’s not like an area code, it’s part of the number.

    Hello,

    I am not aware of such restrictions, but it is possible. Have you encountered difficulties dialing a Ukraine number? What happens when you call?

    Hello,

    To call China from the US dial 011 86 followed by the Chinese phone number (landline or mobile phone). Landlines use geographic area codes whereas mobile numbers have a national dialing format (1 is always the first digit). Neither landline nor mobile numbers may start with zero when called from outside China (if they do you should leave out the zero).

    One significant difference when calling a landline vs cell phone – calls to cell phones are usually charged a higher rate.

    Hello,

    I believe it is a Canadian phone number from the province of British Columbia (Canada’s country code is 1 and 604 is the area code used by Vancouver and other smaller towns in the area). Here’s a map of Canadian area codes.

    00 is the exit code you would use to dial this number from New Zealand.

    Hi Sue and Happy New Year!
    This looks like an Austrian landline. I just tried dialing it and it seems to be working fine – I let it ring once and hung up before someone had a chance to pick up. Replacing 00 with 011 is the correct way to dial from the US. What exactly happens when you dial this number? Have you dialed international calls before using the same Telephone service?

    Hello,

    Chinese Directory Assistance can be reached at 114. However, this number can only be dialed from within China. If you are in the US or other country try dialing local Directory Assistance – they often are able to provide international numbers or may direct you to a different service.

    It depends on what you mean by “missed call”. Generally you don’t get charged when you call, no one answers and you hang up. If you call and you get the voicemail before you hang up then you get charged.
