The easiest way to contact relatives or friends abroad is by using a regular international phone call. Moreover, you can call not only from a regular home phone, but also from a mobile or computer.
Necessary
- - landline phone;
- - mobile phone;
- - a computer with a special program and a headset (headphones, microphone);
- - international communication service;
- - knowledge of the codes of countries and cities where you are going to call.
Instructions
Step 1
To call abroad from your home phone, dial a special international access code, then the country code, area code and at the end the subscriber's phone number itself. For example, to call from Russia to the capital of Belarus, you need to dial 810 375 17 266 24 11.
Step 2
The cost of a telephone conversation depends on the tariffs of your company. Note that calls are usually cheaper at night, and may also cost less on weekends. So ask your operator in advance about the cost of telephone communication at different times of the day. The disadvantage of telephone conversations using a landline phone is the high cost of international calls.
Step 3
You can also call from a mobile phone. For example, for MTS the international communication code is similar to the exit from a regular landline phone - 810. The sequence of actions is the same. First dial the country code, then the area code and the subscriber's phone number. However, instead of "810" in a mobile phone, you can simply dial "+".
Step 4
But for calls abroad, first activate the "International Access" service. The rules for accessing international communications from other mobile operators (Beeline and Megafon) are the same. You can find out more about making international calls and their tariffication on the website of your mobile operator or in its call center.
Step 5
The development of computer technology has also improved and facilitated telephone communication. At the present time, there is the possibility of transmitting voice data via the Internet. To do this, install the appropriate client software on your computer, connect a headset (microphone, headphones, video camera) to the sound card - and you can start free communication (this is possible if data is transferred from computer to computer).
Step 6
For calls to landline or mobile phones, top up your balance, as you have to pay for such international calls. The most popular programs for IP telephony are Skype (Skype), FreeCall, etc. The advantage of such calls is their low cost compared to other methods of international communication.
