How to Make International Calls From a Sprint/Nextel Phone

You can make international calls from a Sprint/Nextel phone.

Sprint/Nextel offers different options for customers to call internationally at variable rates. The country and call time zone that you dial determine what rate you must pay. Sprint also offers special add-on packages for your phone plan that automatically reduce the rates for international calls.

Instructions

1. Call the Sprint customer service number to see if you have the international dialing option on your phone plan. Ask customer service to add the calling option to your phone plan if not included in your current one. See which plan works best for you, as the add-on plans reduce rates for frequent international callers.

2. Locate the international access code and country code for that specific area, either by asking the service representative or looking it up online. Sprint offers an online directory that provides calling codes for each country available to call in its international calling plan.

3. Dial the international access code first, then the designated country code along with the phone number you want to reach. You can also ask a customer service representative to place the call for you. Check the specific charge for that extra service.

Tips & Warnings

• International Sprint calls made to cell phones might have higher rates than calls made to landlines in certain countries.

• Cancel any international calling plan that you no longer need to avoid unnecessary monthly charges.
