Your device may have assisted dialing functionality that allows you to make calls directly from your contact list.
If you receive error messages when making calls, try turning this option off and dialing manually.
Dialing outside the U.S. requires a different dialing pattern. If the sequence requires a plus sign (+), hold down the zero (0) or the asterisk (*) until the plus sign appears on the display.
If you have difficulty with the Plus Sign, try 0-0 (zero, zero) and then the international number.
If the international local number starts with a zero, drop the zero.
To check your Voicemail, use the “U.S.” instructions above and call your mobile number. Press # to interrupt the greeting and enter your password when prompted. If you’re unable to retrieve, turn off the world device and call your mobile number from another phone.
