| Post subject: | Calling a cell phone from outside CR |
I was wondering if anyone has this problem? I'd tried to call a local CR cell number using the usual international code (00) followed by 506 and the seven digits of the cell number. The line always end up dead. I'd tried calling a CR telephone operator who verified that the number does exist because they called and spoke to the person. But they cannot connect me through unless it's a collect call. I was also informed that from March 20 there will be an additional digit of 8 when dialing. Is there something I'd missed out? Any help is appreciated. |

The additional digit will be 2...after 3/20/08you will need to dial 011-506-2 and the 7 digit number Thanks El Silencioso but I'd forgot to mention I was dialing from the UK and not the US so the international code from here is 00. |

The cell phone you were trying to call was probably not set up to make and receive international calls. That is an option when setting up your cell phone service. |

I've sorted it out by using a number to make cheap international calls. |

I have heard that the additional digit will be a repeat of the first digit of the phone number. For example, if someone has the number 553-xxxx, you will dial 011-506-5-553-xxxx. If it is, for example, a phone number such as 819, it will be 011-506-8-819-xxxx. dapanz1 |
