My parents are having trouble calling me from canada to my cell phone.
I've given the number 011-82-010-777-7777 and it doesn't seem to work.

How do you dial? I've checked some websites and links and can't seem to geta straight answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Drop the 0 before your area code

so it should be 011-82-10-777-7777

They should contact their telephone company... the numbers may vary from country to country.

For example to call Australia from NZ it is 00 61 .......
To call Korea from NZ it is 0161 82 .........

It shouldnt be any different calling a mobile or a land line - you drop the 0 in both cases (though it will probably cost more).

I agree with Newbie, however, it may be that your cellphone can't receive International calls. You might want to ask a Korean friend to call your Service Provider for you.

Same as everywhere, delete the leading zero of the area code after the country code. Thus +82 10 777 7777.
