Question

How do you call Spain from a U.S. cell phone?

Community Answer

First, you need to dial either the "+" symbol on your cell phone or the IDD number for the U.S., which is 011. Then dial the country code for Spain, which is 34. Finally, put in the Spanish phone number you are given, which will be 9 digits long including the area code.

Question

Can I call a US phone number if the phone is located in Dubai?

Community Answer

Calling a US phone number while it is outside the USA is possible only if roaming is enabled from your communications company. If you want to travel outside the country and still receive phone calls on your mobile phone, you should contact your service provider and enable roaming.

Question

How do I find someone by name in a different country when I don't have their phone number?

Community Answer

This isn’t possible since a lot of people share the same name. You'll need to ask the person for the phone number via Facebook, messaging service or email.

Question

How much will it cost me to call Nigeria?

Community Answer

It depends on the internet connection of the person you're calling. If the internet speed can sustain online calls, there are a lot of apps that offer free calls over the internet (Viber, Whatsapp). If their connection is very unreliable or they don't have any internet connection at all, there are apps that offer cheap international calls to landline or mobile. You can research the exact fees online.

Question

Do I dial 20 for the city code if I'm calling a cell phone?

Community Answer

It's optional to put in dialing codes, but to be safe, you should do so - in case there is another number like it in the country. Whether you're calling from a landline or from a cell phone makes no difference.
