In which format should I dial the phone number?

While abroad, except China and some other countries¹

+ {country code} {code of city or mobile network} {telephone number}

For example, to make a call to lifecell call-center you should dial:

+380635433111 (free of charge from roaming), where

«+» - is an international prefix (rules of dialing "+" can be found in your telephone manual),

380 – country code of Ukraine,

63 – code of lifecell mobile network (63, 73 or 93),

5433111 – telephone number.

¹In some countries (that is indicated in the note on tariffs for the relevant country) outgoing call can only be made in the following way: *131*NUMBER#CallButton.

In this case «NUMBER» should be dialed in an international format, but without a plus before the country code:

*131*{country code} {code of city or mobile network} {telephone number}#CallButton

For example, to make a call to lifecell call-center you should dial:

*131*380635433111#CallButton (the call from roaming is charged).
