Arkon A1203 Phone Settings, International Roaming, Make a call from outside your home country

International Roaming

You can use iPhone to make calls in many countries around the world. You must first enable your carrier’s service plan for international roaming.

So that you can still make calls by tapping entries in contacts or favorites, you can set iPhone to add your country prefix automatically to phone numbers when you’re calling from another country.

When you’re traveling outside your carrier’s network, you may be able to choose among different carriers in the area where you’re traveling.

Note: Roaming charges may apply. To avoid roaming charges, make sure Data Roaming is turned off.

For information about making international calls, including rates and other charges that may apply, contact your carrier or go to your carrier’s website.
