From time to time, many people need to contact by phone with someone who is abroad. These can be relatives, business partners, or even a foreign online store that did not send everything that you ordered. But not everyone knows how to call abroad. Indeed, this type of communication differs from the domestic one. So how do you make an international call?
It is necessary
- - telephone;
- - a computer;
- - access to the Internet;
- - the phone number and country code of the person you want to call.
Instructions
Step 1
For an international call, you need to know not only the phone number, but also the special country code. If you have not been given it, you can find it on the Internet. For example, there is a list of area codes in the corresponding article on Wikipedia.
Step 2
Choose the appropriate time to call, taking into account the time difference between your city and the place where you are calling. Also, with the cancellation of the translation of clocks in Russia, an additional complexity has been added, because most countries still change the time to winter. Therefore, in winter, the time difference between these states and Russia increases by an hour.
Step 3
If you are going to make a landline call, first dial "8", wait for a dial tone, then "10" - country code - phone number. But such a call is quite expensive. You can save money if you buy a special IP telephony card. It can be purchased, for example, at the nearest post office.
Step 4
In the event that the call is urgent, you can also make it from your mobile phone. To do this, you will need to dial the number like this: "+" - country code - phone number. The cost of such a call depends not only on the operator, but also on the tariff. You can check it in the call center of the organization that provides you with cellular services.
Step 5
You can also make inexpensive calls over the Internet. To do this, install the Skype program on your computer. Its Russian-language version can be downloaded for free on the official website. Register in the system. Then you have two options. If your friend abroad already has a Skype account, you can call him for free. If not, then you will need to call his landline or cell number. Before that, replenish your account in the system using a plastic card or electronic wallet. Then study the rates for calls to different parts of the world, presented on the company's website. After that, log into the system under your nickname, select from the list the country where you are going to call, dial the subscriber's number and click on the phone icon.
When using Skype, please note that communication may be unstable. Therefore, this program is more suitable for personal rather than business calls.
