Cost of calling local # in foreign country

What is the cost of calling a local number when I am in a foreign country? Is it just the same roaming charge I would pay to call a US number from that country? That's what a Verizon representative told me but it doesn't sound right.
If I am in London, for example, and I have the Global Value Plan will I pay $.99/minute to call a London number or a US number?

nycityny,
We do not want you to have any surprise charges on your bill. Lets make sure you are able to see exactly what the rates for calling a number in the use while international. The rate for making a call while in London whether calling an international number or dialing a number from the U.S. the rate is $0.99 per minutes with the Global Value Plan.

How can I make local calls without using a country code when it's in my Contacts?

The phone numbers in my Contacts all contain country codes because I do a lot of travelling.
An example of this might be:
+1 (229) 123-4567
+44 (0)12 345 6789
+31 (0)10 2345 6789
I have an unlocked phone so when I travel, I usually pick up a local SIM and use that to make calls.
The problem I have is that when I am abroad and select a phone number from my contact list it doesn' work. For example, if I select a contact with the number:
+31 (0)10 2345 6789
A voice-recording comes on saying that the number I had dialed was incorrect.
But when I dial the number manually:
010 2345 6789
It works.
In the US I do not have this problem because for some reason, the phone knows whether the +1 is needed or not. I'm sure if it uses it at all when you're in the US. When I dial internationally from within the US, the number dialing works fine.
So this problem only occurs when I'm dialing locally in the country I'm in while travelling outside the US.
Anyone have any idea of why this is happening and more importantly, what I need to do to fix this? I would hate to have go and change all my contact numbers and get rid of the country codes. If I ever have to call those numbers internationally, I'll need to manually add the country code back in.
Very annoying!
Advice anyone?

If you include a country number, you have to drop the initial 0 from the area code. eg +31 10 2345 6789 instead of +31 (0)10 2345 6789

I am currently in Cameroon, Africa and after arriving here, I added Global services to my plan in hopes to be able to use my phone to call local numbers. When I dial local numbers in Cameroon, with or without the country code, the call fails. I suspect it may be that the phone is 3G and this area only supports 2G. Help!

cctga,
We appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us. I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble while traveling. We definitely want to make sure you have all available options. Normally when traveling internationally we reccommend setting up international services prior to leaving. When you added the services did you do so online or with a rep? It would be best to contact our global department in order to troubleshoot any and all issues with services while international http://vz.to/17KseUf.

Hello darkhawk,
Thank you for the recommendation. I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free......

How would 2 people call each other using facetime if both were in a foreign country but staying at different locations within that country?

How would 2 people call each other using facetime if both were in a foreign country but staying at different locations within that country?

It's tied to the Apple ID also - I believe it would use that to find the right person/device.
Perhaps this article would help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319. It looks like you may want to go in through your contacts and make the call.
If you're concerned about data charges, put your phone in Airplane mode before trying to Facetime. That will prevent it from trying to make a call over your cellular data.

Change foreign country for free calls

I signed up for Skype Premium while in Ireland March thru May 2013. Chose US as one foreign country to make free calls to. I am now back home in US and want to change that country to Ireland (to make calls back to there). I also want to change the currency in which I make my monthly payments from Euros to Dollars and change the credit card to which these monthly payments are debited. How do I do these three things? If anyone in the community can email answers as well as posting them will very much appreciate that (Email Address: <[Removed for privacy]> ).

Here's how you update your credit card info: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10486/how-do-i-update-my-credit-card-details
...and here how to change the currency of your Skype account: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA499/in-which-currency-can-i-make-payments
You would need to cancel your Premium subscription and buy a new one with Ireland as included country. See here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1881/how-do-i-cancel-my-subscription

How do I recover Icloud password if I don't have access to primary/rescue email and I cannot guess the security questions? (I'm in a foreign country and don't have a phone)

I just lost my phone and I'm in a foreign country. I'm thinking I won't get it back, but I'm trying to log on to icloud.com to use find my iphone app. However for whatever reason the same Apple ID has a different password for itunes and icloud. I have no way of calling apple or retreiving my forgotten password online. What do I do?

Without the proper name and password there is nothing you can do.
Your old passord is needed before you can create a new one.

New lync 2013 , 2 subdomains ,ad one domain in foreign country

As you can see in the picture below, I have the main AD called main.prod and two child1 and child2 subdomains. What is more I have AD called international.prod placed in foreign country. I have mbox, cas using child1.main.prod domain and
lync 2010 with UM funcion. The more I have 2way trust between child2.main.prod subdomain and international.prod domain. Now what I would like to do is : make CAS in subdomain child2.main.prod which is authorising people from domain international.prod
and have mailboxes on mbox from subdomain child1.main.prod as it is shown in the picture. Do you think it make sense? Or I have to make mbox in subdomain child2.main.prod????
WHat else: I would like resign Lync 2010 and install new Lync 2013 and make people from subdomains: child1 and child2 and domain international.prod using this new Lync ,and move UM funcionality from old 2010 lync into new 2013.
Any contraindications, suggestions??

Lync Server supports the following topologies for Exchange UM integration:
Multiple domain (that is, a root domain with one or more child domains). Lync Server, and Microsoft Exchange servers are deployed in different domains from the domain where you create users. Exchange UM servers can be deployed in different
domains from the Lync Server pool they support.

Contacts' name not appearing when called locally while travelling !!!

iPhone 3G 3.0
When called locally abroad during travel the contact name does not appear. I have stored all my numbers in Int'l format.
Is there a fix / tool to sort out this issue?

I used to experience this. What I do now is store multiple versions of the same number, with and without the country codes. Mostly I use the country code version to dial out, while the phone uses the non-country code version to ID in-coming calls.
For example, Contact "Buddy #238" may have two phone numbers, even though he really has just the one:
78 (555) 123-1234, and
(555) 123-1234
I'd use the first to call out, but the in-coming calls may tend to show up as the second. Coming to think of it, which of the two number formats does your caller ID display when your friends call? Does any of this seem applicable at all? If you notice a different format for in-coming calls, just add that number to the existing contact(s).

HT1807 Urgent Please: Connecting To Network in Foreign Country

I am in a foreign country (Dubai) and my phone works fine except it cannot connect to a Network. It just says "No Service" in upper left-hand corner. I go to Settings > Carrier > Select Available Carrier (that others with iPhone are using), but nothing.
Any thoughts?
I cannot call anyone because the phone is not working.

You can get a USB power adapter to plug your iPod cable into.

Can I use my original iphone 1 in foreign country?

Can I use my original iphone 1 (cost $499) in foreign country? Thanks.

You can certainly use it. You would need an international roaming plan.
It is very unlikely that you can use a foreign SIM card. Almost all, if not all, original iphones are carrier locked.
Depending on in what country you reside, then your carrier may unlock it. No U.S. carrier provides unlocking at all.

Texting an American number in a foreign country

My friend and I text regularly as we live far apart and it's how we catch up. One day we were texting and he tells me after a few minutes that he is in Costa Rica. Will I be charged for sending texts to his American number while he is in a foreign country? Thanks

Follow up: Is this any different than just texting a Costa Rican number?

Hosting ERP in foreign country - legal situation in germany

How does the German laws see this situation?
Have any others this constellation already? How does the Auditors see it?

TS1646 I live in a foreign country and would like to use my US credit card (which has my current foreign address) to make purchase in the US App Store. How do I do this?

I live in Japan but I would like to use my US credit card to make purchases in the US Store.
I had no problems with this previously, but I recently informed my US bank of my Japanese address and changed it (had to).
There is no way to input my Japanese address (so that it matches the bank information) in the fields for the US App Store (which has no foreign country fields, you are limited to having to fill in the US state field, flags me for phone number area code differences, etc.).
When I hit the change country button: A) It took me to the Japanese App Store; B) I could not use my US credit card there (despite my Japanese address).
Yes, I may want to make purchases in the Japanese App Store in the future (I am bilingual), but the selections are different depending on the country.
Now I can make purchases in neither country.
I want to make purchases in the US Store from Japan.
Help! I feel like I am getting punished for being global. (The world should be getting smaller, more interconnected, and more convenient with the Internet --- not the opposite!)

Well, I can certainly understand the licensing argument if I were using a Japanese credit card with a Japanse address and making a purchase with Japanese yen from the US Store from Japan.
When I am making a purchase with US card from the US store with US dollars, the argument becomes a bit suspect (I know it is Apple's, not your argument).
it is just kind of a paradoxical situation and I am hoping Apple will offer some sort of solution. We can always hoe, right?
Thank you for your reply.

TS3694 Need help immediately! I am at the end of my rope (in a foreign country).

i have researched to death the dreaded 1015 error, while trying to restore my iphone 3gs. i was on 4.2.1, and tried to restore through itunes to the newest 6.1.3. this phone was previously jailbroken and unlocked. any help would be greatly appreciated! i am in a foreign country, and need my phone for many things, especially to navigate from place to place.

Hey, I hope I am not too late.
In order for your port forwarding to work, you have to point it to the IP address of your router. On the setup page, about the middle of the page, there is a 192.168.1. then a box; place a value in the box, which will complete the ip for your router's port forwarding.
save it then, try again. Just did that on mine, I found alot of information on the www.portforward.com web site.
