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!作者: Prelude 時間: 2011-5-30 18:24

What service are you planning to use?
You plan to use FIDO to call back? That's rich.作者: sko 時間: 2011-5-30 19:34
Of course you need to dial 1-604/1-778...
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).作者: Catpiano 時間: 2011-5-30 21:20
Why not using wifi etc to call?作者: Jennie 時間: 2011-5-30 21:25
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.作者: fibbi 時間: 2011-5-30 23:42
I thought you need to call 001-1-604-xxxxxxx?作者: blue20ae 時間: 2011-5-31 06:29
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.作者: Jennie 時間: 2011-5-31 16:34
blue20ae,
You are right. I went to another Fido store this afternoon. The guy there told me to dail '+' then 1-604.
Thank you all for your help.
