Calling phones from other than home country

While traveling overseas, in order to call phone numbers, should I use home country international dialing code or the code of the country I am in? Have tried several ways but nothing seems to be working.

Thanks for your response. But let me state the problem differently. I live in the US and am traveling in Brazil now. I have enough Skype credits to make call mobile/landline numbers.
While dialing from USA I dial 00 + country code + area code + number.
My question is how do I dial an international number while in Brazil? Above format does not work. The code to dial international numbers from Brazil is 0021+ country code+ area code +number. But it does not work. I am surprised that this routine question is not answered on Skype web site and I have to post a message in order to get help.
You would dial telephone numbers from Skype the same way, wherever you are, and even if you are in the same country as the number you are dialing.  Your location is irrelevant to Skype when calling phones. 
To call a number in the States, you would dial +1 xxx xxx-xxxx (or 00 1 instead of +1).  For Brazil, you would have to start out with the Brazilian country code +55 (or 00 55) followed by the Brazilian area code and phone number.  The 21 you are referring to appears to be a code to select a Brazilian telephone carrier Embratel when placing a call within Brazil.  You can't use those carrier-selection codes when dialing from Skype.  Skip that, and dial the rest of the number as you outlined - 00, then country code, then area code and number.

  • Buying from different Itunes other than home country

    I want to buy an album but it isn't available in the Japanese Itunes store so I went to the Canada store. I tried to buy the album but it just refered me back to Japanese store to buy the album. Will it always refer you back to your country store if you try to buy in a different store? If so how can I buy music that isn't available in the Japanese store?

    Linda, you have to realize that computers can be
    tracked by their IP addresses, so even though you set
    up the account, your sister's IP address would
    indicate that she is not located in the US. I would
    also like to know where you read on the forums that
    this could be done because I have been posting
    regularly in the forums for over a year & have never
    seen any other information given out other than what
    I have already told you.
    So I understand what you're saying here: I can't purchase any music from a different country b/c I am based here, even if I have an billing address over there. Because I have to have a card with a billing address over there. So, the only way I can get music from other countries is to request them and (hopefully) they'll mirror those songs over here. Correct?

  • Can I use Apple store from a country other than the country I live in.  Example:  I live in USA and want to use Apple store in Thailand to buy and download thai content.

    Can I use Apple store from a country other than the country I live in.  Example:  I live in USA and want to use Apple store in Thailand to buy and download thai content.

    No, you can only buy content from your own country's store - to be able to buy form another store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that the content that you want be added to the US store, but ultimately it's the content providers (record companies, film studios etc) that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Is there any other way to achieve per user call forward restriction other than to create multiple voice policies?

    Hello,
    We mentioned the environment details below:
    Environment
    In our PBX environment, currently a user can forward calls to any local (within a region) internal extension. But for external PSTN call forwarding, a user needs to send a request and be approved by their manager. And the forwarding restriction
    is applied such that user is only allowed to forward to that particular PSTN number - to prevent toll fraud.
    Moving forward to Lync, using voice policy's call forwarding and simultaneous ring PSTN usages, I can set it to allow forward and simultaneous ring to custom PSTN usage and a custom route that will only send calls to these pre-approved
    external numbers.
    Outcome
    But in such a scenario,
     sSince all the custom external allowed numbers will have to be put into a single Route match table, User A will be able to successfully
    set up call forward to User B's number. (if they come to know about it somehow, that is)
    rü 
    Route matching list will be very long due to the number of users per hubsite that has call forwarding enabled.
    Questions
    Is there any other way to achieve per user call forward restriction other than to create multiple voice policies ? MSPL may be ?  
    2. Is there a limit in the number of entries you can have on the Route pattern matching regex expression ?
    Please advise. MANY THANKS.

    1) I think multiple policies may be your best bet, though it's not a fun one to manage, I agree.  MSPL could do it, but it would be more complex to maintain in the end.  Even gateways have limitations on routes.
    2) I'm not aware of a limit, though I'm not saying there's isn't one.  But if you hit it, you could move to a second usage/route combo.
    I'd suggest building out some PowerShell usage/route creation/organization script for this so it's not something that would need to be maintained within the GUI.

  • Does iTunes offer a restore from other than current data on my pc?  I've lost all my pictures because of lack of disk space on my pc.

    Does iTunes offer a restore from other than current data on my pc?  I've lost all my pictures because of lack of disk space on my pc.

    Are you talking about restore of the iPhone from its backup, or something else? The first time you sync an iOS device on each calendar day iTunes will update the backup set for the device. If you remove data from the device and backup, then the backup of that data has gone. For this reason it actually makes sense to restore an iOS device periodically as, once used for a restore, the backup set is archived and a new one created.
    Ideally you would have backed up these pictures somewhere. If you enabled it, you may find pictures in your Photo Stream.
    In general you need to keep a backup copy of all your important files. iTunes will let you download most past purchases from the store but backing up other content is down to you. The user  Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy suggests a way to do this for iTunes, but the same tool can be used to preserve other folders of data.

  • Calling a different screen other than the country screen

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to change the screen called by infotypes instead of the country screen? For instance, IT 0002 for Hong Kong is calling MPV34200. Can I make it to call MP000200 screen instead of  MPV34200?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Eric

    Hi,
    But the IT 0002 for Hong Kong is calling MPV34200 first before calling the Feature P0002? So it is already calling the MPV34200 screen before it even gets to the feature?
    If this is not the case, can you show me step by step how to do this?
    Thanks.

  • Can I use an iPad 2 3G bought in the USA with a different phone carrier in my home country?

    I intend to buy an iPad 2 3G  in the USA and bring it back to my home country (Chile) but I'm not sure if the broadband connection will work here with a phone carrier different from AT&T or Verizon. If somebody knows the answer please let me know as soon as possible as I have to buy the iPad this week.
    Thanks in advance.
    RB

    The ATT iPad model uses the GSM technology (VZ uses CDMA, which is used in very few places outside the US). Get the ATT iPad, you can plop in your local microSIM card, the iPad is not locked to ATT.

  • Calling EJBs from other EJBs in other J2EE Server?

    How can I call one EJB on one J2EE Server from other
    EJB on other J2EE Server?
    Help me, please.
    Dmitry Tumanov

    Basically call the beans as if you were calling them in the same server through their remote interfaces. Get a InitialContext into the other appserver and then get the home object, narrow it and create a remote reference. You can follow the standard implementation just make sure that the InitialContext you create has the right properties, ie. context factory, urls, etc to the OTHER appserver.

  • Obtain DST patch for 10.2.0.1.0 on Windows from other than MetaLink?

    Does anybody know whether it's possible to get patches from anywhere other than MetaLink?
    I downloaded and installed Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows from OTN, but I had one hell of a time getting the Enterprise Manager to connect properly because of that DST problem that everyone's been complaining about.
    I read in one post that there was a DST patch. However, I don't have a support contract, so no Support Identifier to register for MetaLink. Is there anywhere else to obtain this DST patch?
    I did manage eventually to get Enterprise Manager to connect and work properly by changing my Windows DST setting and 'hitting' EM until it just happened to work. But I have to go through that same ridiculous procedure every time I restart my machine, so I was hoping to get a patch.

    It is not possible to do so legally.
    Buy the support agreement. There is a lot of value beyond the patches. Doing so will give you access to the Knowledge Base, Service Requests, and much more.

  • Oracle reading binary files from other oracle home.

    Hi all,
    I have two oracle db installed on the same server but on different oracle home.
    It seems to me that the second oracle is reading the binaries from the other installation.
    I can start this database and the sap instance and it starts on the correct oracle home but I see that it is reading files on the first oracle home.
    for example, it saves the spfile under the first oracle_home\database directory. I started it using pfile=<the_correct_ora-home>\database\initSID.ora and set on this  init.ora file the correct path for  spfile.
    But even after this if i change any parameter, it stills change the spfile on the wrong <oracle_home>\database.
    Is there a way to fix this ? I mean to make the second oracle to see files under its own oracle home ?
    It is oracle 11g under windows 2008.
    Remember that all the environment variables is pointing to the correct oracle home and I can start SAP and Oracle as well on this oracle_home.
    Thanks in advance,
    Joao.

    Hi Orkun,
    No, we don't have anything else installed yet.
    Please see what I found out:
    Checking those binary errors I found out that the oracle service
    OracleServiceDPC (the second instance on this server) is being started from the wrong oracle_home path. Please
    see the path to the executables on that service properties:
    g:\oracle\dnc\11202\bin\ORACLE.EXE DPC
    It is pointing to the other oracle home DNC but starting instance DPC. How can I change that ?
    Please see that the oracle home, the listener, etc is correct pointing
    to oracle home G:\oracle\DPC\11202.
    I would like to disable this service and create the correct one.
    Is that possible ?
    thanks and regards,
    Joao

  • Create DLL from labview and calling it from other application

    I have an application built using Labview. I wanted to create DLL out of it. The application has
    two String inputs start and stop buttons and two status indicators.
    1. How to itegrate start and stop buttons from function prototype?
    2. Does Labview created DLLs requires labview runtime engine when it is to be called from other application?
    Can some one help on this.
    Solved!

    Hi Yuvish,
    1) They should be boolean inputs to your VI. But does it makes sense to provide a stop button input at the start of your VI? (THINK DATAFLOW!)
    2) Yes, the LV-RTE is needed...

  • Calling Transaction from other system using RFC

    Hi ,
    I have one button on screen(say Screen-A), in ECC. when its pressed the transaction '/SAPAPO/BOPIN' gets called from APO.
    For calling transaction from APO I am using FM - 'ABAP4_CALL_TRANSACTION'.
    I want the initial screen of that transaction to retain some values which I fill on the Screen-A(the screen which has that button).
    When I call the transaction from ECC itself (ex. C006), the initial screen of C006 retains the value on Screen-A.
    I want the same to happen in case of calling transaction from APO.
    How to achieve this?  Would it need the changes in IMG (SPRO)?
    Please note that, Screen-A is initial screen of transaction 'md05' and I want to retain vaules of Material, MRP Area, Plant.
    Thanks,
    Sujeet
