Checked before leaving
It’s important to have the correct information to hand before leaving your number with overseas terms of use. Obviously, the first thing to do would be to consult your carrier. Depending on the destination, you need to know if the latter has coverage or if they have agreements with other companies that cross borders to use their network.
For major brands such as Orange, SFR or even Bouygues and Free, this will not be a problem, as access is possible in more than 200 countries. A travel option is then offered and it should activate itself after crossing the origin zone. Some operators still recommend contacting customer service to take advantage of this.. In addition, consultation by mail is also possible. An access code must be requested from its supplier in France prior to departure.
Type the correct call sign
There is one item to remember when calling a foreign country, the country code. Usually, to contact a local number, it is enough to dial it as shown.
However, if the destination of the call is France or another country, the code must be used. In the case of France, +33. Replace the leading 0 of the French number with this code. Other codes of countries all over the world are easy to find on the net.
Pay attention to costs
Before you consider using your phone number abroad, it’s important to remember that there are costs involved. Without taking out a special subscription or travel formula, the bill can quickly add up. Each operator may have different rates. It is important to be well informed before you go. Sometimes it is more interesting to buy a local prepaid chip.
