I will travel to Europe shortly and I plan to phone home (in Vancouver) with my cell phone. I bought my cell phone in HK and I have checked that it can be used in Europe.
My question is: do I need to dial some no. before 1-604 when I make a call to Vancouver?
I went to a Fido store this afternoon and asked. The guy there said he doesn't know!
But yeah, I would suggest calling from your hotel(s) instead. The rates were definitely not too bad (will be cheaper than calling from your cell for sure).
I know it's not cheap. $1.33 per minute with Fido. But I will only make 1 or 2 short calls home. I wonder if I need to dial 0 before 1-604.
I guess it must be different from calling from a hotel or using a phone card, because the cell phone is based in Canada.
On cell phone, from anywhere in the world, it is +16045559876. The '+' key is different on each phone, usually is press-and-hold the '0' key. '+' indicate international call; and '1' is the country code for Canada and US.
