Yep, I can't receive calls from back home (England). Is there some setting that I've inadvertently pressed which blocks all calls from overseas?

Is it a contact thing? My parents land line isn't on my contacts page.

r u sure they're dialing the # correctly?

for eg., if ur number here is 010-4444-4444, from north america(don't know what the uk overseas prefix is), they'd dial 011-82-10-4444-4444.

it's not a contacts thing.

You know, come to think of it maybe they don't omit the 0 from 010!

I'll check on that. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure, from the U.S. you would be dialing 82-10-4444-4444. From the U.S. you add -82 and cut the inital 0.

This site says it's the same as I said, but maybe things have changed?

Also, looks like it should be 00-82-10-4444-4444 from England.
