Hello,
I see you are from India. I think it’s likely a number from your country. For this to be a US number for example (US and Canada have country code 1) you should have 11 digits total while you only have 10.
Hello,
It’s not important to know the provider when dialing Bolivia from abroad. To be honest I am not aware of cell phones starting with digit 6. My sources tell me that cell phones start with 7. It is possible however for the Bolivian telecom authorities to have in the meantime introduced a new dialing format with 6 being the starting digit. If your cell number is correct and you have also tried using 011 instead of the plus sign in the beginning (011 591 6??? ????) with no success, then there is likely an issue on your end. For instance, your phone service may not allow dialing international calls.
I can help you by trying to dial this number for you. If it works then the problem is on your end. If you want to do this go ahead and send me the number using the Contact button at the top right of this page.
Hi Ann. There certainly are options. The international calling industry has a lot of competition these days and there are several providers who offer good quality calling and lots of useful, technologically advanced features. Two such services that come to mind: Rebtel and VoxCall. I have used Rebtel and they provide a good service. VoxCall is a similar service and both charge low rates. You can search for any of the two companies using your favorite search engine.
Hello,
How about trying an online 411 search such as the two listed below:

Hello,
If what you inquiring about is how to dial to a Philippines cell located in Australia, yes, just call it the way you usually do when it is at home in the Philippines.
Have you also tried dialing using the long distance method? What happens when you dial (any error messages)?
One suggestion: try dialing other Brazil numbers to rule out the possibility that you are only having trouble calling this particular number.
Hello Sophia,
The dialing sequence you were given will not work for calls from Australia to the UK. To place this call you must replace the starting 00 with 0011 and leave out the zero you have before the area code 1202. You should have: 0011 44 1202 ??? ???.
This Bournemouth number is a landline. UK cell phones start with 7.
Hello,
She should use 001 and not 011 to dial from Indonesia to Australia. To avoid confusion she can also use + instead of 001: +61 and so on.

Hello,
It’s very simple. You must add 00 to the full Canadian number: 00 1 ??? ??? ????. The same info plus more details is provided on the page below:

As for the cheapest way to call: Skype has good rates/plans. There are also some calling cards with service from India such as SpeedyPin or Cloncom:

Hello,
You will leave out the starting zero: (0)7??? ??? ???. People from the US will dial the following: 011 44 7??? ??? ???. People from the UK will reach you using the same dialing sequence they use when you are at home in the UK: 07??? ??? ???.
Hello Dave,
If the number you are dialing is a local number you can just dial it without the area code (the last 8 digits is the local number).
To dial long distance calls in Brazil you will have to add some extra digits. Namely, you will need to add 0 followed by the carrier code and area code: 0 xx yy ???? ???? (xx is the carrier code and yy the area code). Below is a Wikipedia page explaining carrier codes:

If you want to call internationally (to the US for instance), just use the plus sign with your cell phone followed by the international number. Example: you would have +1 ??? ??? ???? for a call to the US.
Hello,
Just make sure your ATT international roaming service is activated before you leave for Spain.
Your family will call you the way they usually do, ATT will take care of connecting the call to wherever you are.
In Spain, give your conference partners either +1 ??? ??? ???? or 00 1 ??? ??? ????. Both methods work, the first one is generally used with cell phones. Example: +1 702 000 0000 or 00 1 702 000 0000.
Hello,
The call should go through no matter where he is if he has roaming service. To call you don’t need to change anything – just dial the Japanese cell as if it were still in Japan. From the US you would have 011 81 followed by 10 more digits. Is this how you’ve been dialing with no success? If so I believe the issue is on their end not yours.
One other thing – I don’t know why you tried to call these numbers the way you did. If they could be reached from outside Egypt you would dial 011 20 19???.
Hello,
These short numbers are meant to be called from within Egypt. If the bank you are trying to contact has a website they likely publish a contact number for calls from outside the country. Or, again if they have a website, they usually have a “Locate your branch” section. In this section regular phone numbers are generally provided.
I hope this helps. If you still can’t find their contact info I could try it – I would need the bank’s name.
Hello Ciarna,
Ghana cell numbers are 9 digit and start with either digit 2 or digit 5, so you should have either 00 233 2?? ??? ??? or 00 233 5?? ??? ???. You can also use +233 instead of 00233.
Hi Jean,
Only those staying in the US will be able to reach these phones traveling across Europe by dialing the regular phone number without any additional prefixes.
The international dialing format for a US telephone number is indeed +1 ??? ??? ????. This means that the plus sign is either to be replaced with the local exit code (00 for all European countries including the UK), or the plus is actually dialed (works with cell phones from all countries).
So, to recap, the number to be called and also to be given to the Police is: +1 ??? ??? ????. In addition, 00 1 ??? ??? ???? should also work (whichever you prefer).
Hello,
Dubai is one of the United Arab Emirates. 971 is the country code and the rest, starting with 5 is a cellular phone over there. To dial this number from the US just replace + with 011. Below is more info on dialing the UAE:
https://www.howtocallabroad.com/uae/
Hello,
There are two types of situations in which the plus sign is used for international dialing instructions:
1. The way we use it on this site where the plus sign has a separating role between the elements of a calling sequence (IDD code, country code, etc). For example, to call from the US to a phone in Italy you would enter: 011 + 39 + phone number; however, you don’t actually dial these plus signs, you just use 01139 followed by the Italian number.
2. You will sometimes see an international number starting with a plus sign. The example above will be: +39 followed by the phone number. In this case the + replaces 011 which is the US IDD or exit code. Here you will actually have to dial the plus or use 011 instead – either way works.
The plus sign can be dialed when using a cell or VoIP phone to place the call. Look for + on the phone’s keyboard (for cell phones it is usually one of those characters that can be entered by dialing a button twice). Many landline phones do not have the capability to dial +.
There’s also an article we wrote a while ago on the subject:

Susie,
The number they gave you is an Australian cellular phone. Just like we discussed in your previous thread on how to call the UK, Australian phone numbers, just like UK ones, start with zero for national calls. The zero is to be left out when dialing the same number from outside Australia.
Secondly, Australian cell phones do not use area codes. So, when looking at our page on dialing to Australia, if you look further down the page you’ll see a paragraph giving instructions on how to call Australian mobile phones. You’ll see there that all Australian mobiles start with 4 – just like the number you have.
In conclusion you should dial 011 61 414503???. Note that charges for dialing to a cell abroad are often higher than charges for calling landlines.
