How to make call while roaming?
To make a call with a prepaid plan dial the full international number. It means including the country code and area code before the phone number itself.
For example, dial “1316327301000” and also for a mobile phone dial “131639178000000” and then press SEND.
How to send messages while roaming?
Before you travel:
- Call your phone company and ask them to turn on “international roaming” for your phone number. This lets your phone send texts from other countries.
- Consider purchasing a roaming package that offers a set amount of texts or minutes for a specific duration. This can be cheaper than per-message charges.
When you’re traveling:
- Turn on “data roaming” on your phone. This lets your phone connect to texting services in other countries.
