 |
|
Okay I need help calling a number in America.
Its a business number (in california) and I have tried every combination of numbers but cant get it to work.
I am calling from Seoul, using a mobile phone and an international calling card I bought from GS25.
The business number I want to call is 1 (408) 898-4825
The instructions say dial the country code + area code+ number.
So the international code for america is 001 or 002 so I have tried the following combinations and none of them work.
001-1-408-898-4825
002-1-408-898-4825
001-408-898-4825
002-408-898-4825
None of these work...
This is so frustrating...
Can anyone help?
Thanks |

Slightly different.
The country code for America is 1, not 001. You only dial 001 if you're calling directly. You're using a calling card. Go through the calling card setup till you get to that point and just dial the number: 1 (408) 898-4825 |

0388 from your mobile, then the 1 + area code + number.
Rates are 60 or 70 won per minute. In my case, international calls are 10 won more expensive than local calls using that code.  |

| Get Skype or Yahoo Instant Messenger with Voice. Calls are around 1 cent per minute. |
