Indeed cell numbers in Argentina start with 15 and these two digits must be dropped when dialed from abroad. You shoud have this dialing format from Greece:<br /> 00 54 9 followed by 1o digits (area code + cell number). </p> http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/topic/australian-cell-to-cell-in-amsterdam#post-1181 Sun, 05 Sep 2010 02:41:43 +0000 julie 1181@http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/ <p>yep as it didnt work, thanks ill try that i was adding 20 as well, not needed. i'll try again, </p> http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/topic/weird-problem-when-calling-to-argentina#post-1180 Sat, 04 Sep 2010 23:42:34 +0000 manina 1180@http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/ <p>Hey guys!<br /> So,here's my situation: After 3 months of communication with an Argentine number (sms and calls from me,I live in Greece, and calls from Argentina but no sms -because he has problems) I try to call, and there's a message in Spanish that says something about a number 15 ( I don't remember). The weird thing is that the sms are going ok, he receives them, and I can call the Argentine number from any other Greek phone, it has problem with mine only. What is going on? I am 100% that I call with the correct format of number (with 9 and the city's code omitting the 2 first digits of the number).<br /> I'm going crazy!!!! </p> http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/topic/at038t-gophone-sim#post-1179 Sat, 04 Sep 2010 16:01:47 +0000 admin 1179@http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/ <p>Hi Speedy:)<br /> If you bought a USA sim card it means you will be given a USA phone number. These don't start with zero like they do in the UK. US numbers have this format: 3 digit area code followed by 7 digit local number (??? ??? ????). People in the UK woul dial 00 1 ??? ??? ???? from both landlines and cell phones. To dial the UK you would enter 011 44 followed by the UK number in national format without the starting zero. </p> <p>It would be much cheaper to call a UK landline.

From what I understand you are in Japan and trying to call a Singapore cell phone currently located in India. If this is correct you would dial: 010 65 followed by the cell number. I just tried dialing this number myself and I am getting a wrong number message. Moreover, according to my sources Singapore cell numbers can have the following two formats: 8??? ???? or 9??? ????. Your number starts with 5. Now, it is possible for some Singapore new cell numbers to start with 5, but I am not aware of such additions. </p> http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/topic/how-call-singapaore-cell-number-from-japan#post-1161 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:48:26 +0000 MANOHARAN 1161@http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/ <p>Dear Sir,</p> <p> i ,had called from japan to singapore mobile to india as cell number is 59767537.<br /> (cell available at india).</p> <p> Example: 010 65 91 59767537 &#38; 010 65 59767537.[010 ,65 singaporecode , india code-91, and then cellnumber) for your reference only</p> <p>there is message like please check the number.</p> <p> i could not able to call,but cell number is correct only</p> <p>plz reply<br /> Thanking you,<br /> Manoharan.P </p> http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/topic/calling-peruvian-mobile-number-from-uk#post-1159 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 07:54:29 +0000 elenaneal 1159@http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/ <p>You have been very helpful thank you.
