Wireless Support

Many telecommunications companies outside the United States now impose additional fees to complete telephone calls to wireless devices, including mobile phones, pagers, personal computers and personal digital assistants. These additional fees also apply to ranges of telephone numbers for special services as designated by the foreign telephone administration (e.g., Premium Rated Services); such special services may or may not be wireless. In order to recover these additional fees, Verizon Wireless adds a mobile termination charge to all calls completed to wireless devices and special services in the affected countries. The charge amount varies by country and applies to all calls that are placed to a wireless device or special service. The customer will see only one per-minute price on their bill for a call where their charge applies. This single per-minute price is a combination of our international dialing rate and the mobile termination charge. This information may change from time-to-time. Be sure to check the codes and rates periodically for current information.

If a customer calls an overseas landline number and the call is forwarded to a mobile number where the additional change applies, then the customer will be billed the mobile terminating rate.

"Dialed Digits" are the prefix numbers in the dialed number that identify the call as one to a mobile number or to a specialized service. (Exceptions: Mexico requires a "1" to be included after the country code (52) in the dialing sequence to reach a mobile device; Thailand requires an "8" after the country code "66").

It depends on the country you wish to call. The International Long Distance (I-Dial) feature must be activated on your account in order to make international calls to most countries, but several countries may be dialed direct without the need for an I-DIAL feature simply by entering the appropriate area code and phone number. For more information, including rate and coverage information, visit our International Services web page.

To place a call to a destination outside of the US that uses 10-digit dialing, simply enter the 10-digit phone number of the person you wish to call and press SEND as you would when making a domestic call. To place a call to a destination outside of the US that cannot be dialed direct using 10-digit dialing, you must start with 011. Next, you must use the country code, and then the number you wish to reach. For additional information on dialing patterns for specific countries, visit our International Service web page.

For example, if you would like to call a number in France, first use 011, then the country code 33, then you enter the phone number and then press SEND.
