Cellular Phones/making a international call from cell to cell

Expert: - 1/4/2010


Question
I understand that calling from cell to cell I need to enter 011 then the county code then the number.  I have done this and the operator comes back and tells me I need to enter a 1 after the county code (Mexico 52). I do that and the call still does not go through.  Help

Answer
When you call a Mexico cell phone, you have to dial the "1" after the country code. Example is:
011-52-1-55-XXXX-XXXX. If you are dialing this many numbers and the call doesn't go through, check with your carrier to be sure that you have international dialing enabled. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
