Does anyone know how to make a collect call from a mobile (my serice provider is "3"), or even contact an international operator? I've asked about a dozen people, but nobody seems to know... Somebody gave a a number to dial for "information" (what would be 411 back home), but that didn't work on my phone. Sad

Don't know really, have you subscribed to an IDD service on your mobile? If not the easiest and cheapest thing would be to just get an IDD phonecard from 7-eleven and use a call box, I guess.

Yeah, I do have an IDD package. I need to call my bank/credit card company, and the website clearly says I can "call collect" from overseas. Yes, I know I *could* use a calling card, but you know how these things work, who knows how long I'll be on hold before I actually get through to someone in person?

Are you sure about that Luddy? Don't you want to check your facts just to make sure that you aren't mistaken again?

Get a life (once again), 'once again'. Ain't you got a gnome to go to? (No! You're a gnomad.)

Despite making a collect call, I believe that your phone must be connected for IDD, longdistance calling...especially if it is a mobile phone.

I have IDD on my home phone with PCCW and it is CHEAP to call Canada direct.

Can anyone tell me where the nearest supermarket is as I need to buy some full-fat milk.

I think the picture says more than any words I can think of. Look out for these beasties on this board.

Which one is it?

I find it quite pathetic that a fully-grown adult does not seem able to work such details out for herself.

Maybe you could hold seminars and get paid for that? I agree, it is a troll.
