You can contact your friends or relatives abroad using a regular phone call. In addition to mobile or landline phones, you can also make calls from your computer.
International landline calls
There are simple dialing rules for using international calls. First you need to dial a special international access code. Each country has its own international code. For example, to call from Russia to any foreign country, you need to dial the code "810". Then you need to enter the country code, in this case the international code of Italy - "39". Next, you need to enter the area code. For example, if you need to call Rome, then the area code will be "6". And only after that the number of your friend or acquaintance, who is in Italy, is dialed. So, let's say you need to call Rome at 123-23-23, then you should dial "810 39 6 123 23 23".
The cost of one minute of conversation will depend on your telephone company, as well as on the tariff. The price of a call may vary depending on what time of day (day or night) and on what day of the week (weekdays or weekends) the call was made. The big disadvantage of international calls to Italy from landline phones is the very high cost.
International calls from a mobile phone
Dialing rules for international calls from a mobile phone depend on the operator. For example, in Russia, popular mobile operators are Beeline, Megafon and MTS. First, you need to activate the service for making international calls. For example, MTS calls this service “International Access”.
To call Italy from the mobile operator "MTS" you need to dial the same international access code as from the landline phone - "810", country code - "39", city code (Rome) - "6" and the subscriber's phone number. The difference between mobile and landline phones is that instead of the 810 code, you can simply enter the + sign. That is, for a call to Italy, you will need to dial +39 6 123 23 23. Exactly the same rules for international calls from "Beeline" and "Megafon". The cost of an international call from a mobile phone will be significantly less than from a landline, although it all depends on the chosen tariff.
International calls via Skype
You can also make calls using a computer. To do this, you need to install a special program, for example, Skype. This program allows you to call your friends all over the world for free. It doesn't matter where your interlocutor is - in Italy or in any other country - you just need to have Skype installed for both of you.
Making a Skype call is easy. You need to add your interlocutor as a friend, then right-click on his name and select "Call". For more comfortable communication, you can use the webcam.
