Dial 141. Enter this prefix before dialing a phone number to prevent the person you are calling from seeing your phone number on Caller ID.

Question

What do I do if the operator says the line is busy while calling another country?

Community Answer

You can wait a bit, and call back. It probably only says that because they're calling someone else at the time.
