    Hi guys,

    Ive always called to a normal phone cause dialing to a mobile never worked but today my only option is dialing to a mobile and I can't figure it out. I was wondering if anyone has done this before and if they could offer any help advice on doing so.

    Ive tried:

    011+44+777 (mobile num)
    011+44+0777 (mobile num)
    011+44+1777 (mobile num <- when i was called from that number my caller id showed 1-777-(mobile num).

    Ive also tried:

    011+44+1482-777 (mobile num)

    Any advice is great. Thanks :(

    Mobile number will look something like this: 07717XXXXXX

    You take the first 0 out so you end up with 7717XXXXXX

    The either try

    +447717XXXXXX

    or

    0447717XXXXXX

    or

    447717XXXXXX

    Whatever the mobile number is, for example, 01234 56789, take off the zero at the beginning and replace with 44; 44-1234-56789

    If the number is showing without a zero, eg, 1234 56789, prefix it with 44; 44-1234-56789

    hey keep in mind that when you call a mobile phone internationally, you'll be charged per minute a "mobile termination fee" on top of the normal per minute international rate
