Can any one assist me would like to know how to make a call to UK mobile number whilst in the canada thanks location that I am in is toronto

On my office phone I have to dial 9 (for outside line) then 011 (long distance outside BC) then 44 (UK dialing code) then the number without the first 0.

Took me ages to wrap my head around it.

A typical UK mobile number would be:

07908 231331

i.e. UK cell numbers always begin with an 07

Basically drop the leading zero and use the UK country code. If I save it in a memory, I would also add a plus (+) symbol, so it would be:

+44 7908 231331

The 'plus' is a shortcut for 'this is going to be an international call'

OP, go to the local convenience store or flea market to purchase a $5 cici calling card.

Calls to mobile numbers usally cost $0.12/minute

This is what our family has used

That's odd... that's never worked from my cell in Canada. I have to dial using 01144, not +44. (Bell)

maybe because schooks uses 'google phone' there is no reason to use the 011+, just a guess

On almost all cellphones, a "+" symbol can be used in a contact directory to indicate that the phone should dial the international access code (011 in North America, 00 in most of the rest of the world, something else entirely in some other countries). The cell carrier is supposed to interpret the tone for "plus" and forward the call to the international exchange. I'm very surprised that Bell doesn't do this. Is it only for dialled numbers, or does it not allow "+" as a prefix for numbers in the contact directory either?

Thanks all said and done it's 15 digits. Taking a trip to Vancouver shortly toronto not much of a view I love a good autumn

Oddly, I can't make any international calls anymore... not sure what happened but on the blower to Bell right now.

Contact directory allows a + prefix, but when dialled, a recorded message would complain about being unable to connect the call. Change to 0011 and it would work.

Maybe they fixed the + dialling issue. Will find out after I yell at Bell a bit.

I've always been able to use a +, and that's on a range of phones on a range of networks, both Canada and the UK.

Back in the days when there were more local calling zones in Canada (so a 416 or 905 number literally meant that as your local calling area instead of Canada-wide like there is now), the +1 also meant that the phone would dial or not dial long distance as required. If I had a number in my phone has just 905... and I was outside my zone then the phone wouldn't connect ("The number you are dialing is long distance. Please hang up and try your call again.") If I stored the number as 1905... then I couldn't make local calls. ("The number you are dialing is not a long distance call. Please hang up and try your call again.") The +1 allowed the call to connect as required. That was on Rogers about a decade ago.

Also, I don't think Android vs iPhone makes any difference to the code, lol. As Oak said, it's to do with the carrier interpreting the + tone.
