Rules for dialing international telephone numbers. How to dial an international number from a mobile phone. How to dial an extension number

Currently, almost every enterprise organizes coordinated work by introducing extension numbers. An extension number is a numeric identifier that is assigned to a specific line of an enterprise or its department. It consists of 2 parts: the 1st part is the main phone number, the 2nd is an extension that will connect you with the desired department or person.

What is an extension number?

To understand how to call an extension number, you need to understand what it is. This is a forwarding point in a virtual automatic telephone exchange, which is assigned 1 of the employee’s external telephone numbers (landline, mobile, sip or skype account, etc.). The extension number has a four-digit format - from 0001 to 9999, which is limited by the maximum number capacity of forwarding points on the 1st virtual number.

The first 2 digits of the extension number indicate the serial number of the forwarding list, and, as a rule, belong to the 1st department of the company. The second 2 digits are the serial number of the department employee.

What are extension numbers for?

A single telecommunications space of a virtual number in a cloud PBX erases real physical boundaries and shortens distances. Its capabilities make it possible to build the activities of various commercial and public structures without additional costs for renting premises, office equipment and other expenses.

Modern companies are a room divided by bulkheads into separate sections. These sections house employees who perform their work. Each workplace is equipped with a computer and telephone. To contact a specific person, you need to call the company's main number. When the connection occurs, you dial the extension number, after which the required contact is established.

The use of extensions is increasing because they are convenient, fast and easy to use without the need to spend money on additional equipment. Taking into account the obvious fact that all employees have their own cell phones and, many still have home phones, a virtual exchange allows you to transfer a call to any of them. The transfer can be made not only to the phone, but also to Skyp or voicemail.

How to dial an extension number from a mobile phone?

First, you need to study the company's phone number. The first part of the number is the main number of the organization, and the second, which is taken in brackets, is an additional one. Dial the organization's main number on your mobile phone and call. An answering machine should answer you. Listen to him completely, otherwise, a failure may occur and you will have to dial the number again. At the end of the message, you will hear a list of the main extension numbers and a proposal to dial the required one after a characteristic signal. Dial the extension number and wait for an answer.

Unlike a landline phone, mobile phones do not need to be switched to tone mode; they do it automatically.

In some cases, an automatic telephone exchange (PBX) may connect you incorrectly. If this happens, there is no need to disconnect and re-do the dialing operation. You should contact the person who answered and ask him to independently switch you to the department or specialist that is needed. Usually, company employees are loyal to such a situation. If you come across a person who does not want to transfer you, you will have to dial the extension number again.

How to dial an extension number using tone mode?

Most modern corded phones have special switches labeled "Pulse-Tone". If you are connected to a modern electronic PBX that supports tone mode, keep this switch in the “Tone” position at all times. If you only need the tone mode when making calls to helpline or similar services, using such a switch is not very convenient. It wears out faster, and some devices generally respond to changes in this position only after the handset is put on and taken off again.

In cordless phones, switching to tone mode is done through the menu. It’s just not very convenient to use this method when calling help desks. If your PBX does not support tone mode, temporary switching is carried out as follows: call the help desk in pulse mode, press the “star” button. After that, all further key presses will cause a series of tones. When you hang up, the phone will automatically switch to pulse mode.,

When making calls to extension numbers from mobile phones, there is no need to switch to tone mode. Even if you do not hear, they are still transmitted to the subscriber. If you find that there is no response to key presses, find an item in the phone menu that allows you to enable DTMF signaling and activate it.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to transmit tones from wired phones, where there is no tone mode at all. This device can be either push-button or disk-based. In this case, set your phone to a mode so that keypress tones are heard directly from the speaker.

Not for every modern person the question of how to call from home to mobile is closed. There are still people who need to be explained how this can be done. This article will provide step-by-step instructions on this matter.

How to call from home to mobile?

With the development of the mobile phone network, the role of the home telephone network is somewhat diminished today, but many subscribers still continue to use it due to lower tariffs for calls to home phones.

You can also call a mobile phone from your home phone, but the tariff will be much higher and equal to the long-distance tariff. So how does the process of calling a cellular operator subscriber from a landline number go? We will discuss this now.

The main nuance when dialing a cell phone from a landline is that you must dial eight at the beginning of the entire combination. It replaces the +7 combination, which is simply not available on a home device.

After pressing key 8, a beep will sound in the handset, after which you should dial the next three-digit combination - the contact operator code. Then comes the seven-digit subscriber number. The process algorithm will look something like this:

8 (beep) УУУ ХХХ ХХ ХХ, where:
UUU – operator code.
XXX – seven digits of the contact you need to call.

Attention! Home phone devices do not always have address book functions, so you should be sure to enter the correct combination of numbers before calling someone. Otherwise, you may end up calling the wrong person.

Long-distance connection between home and cell phone

Calling a local cellular user from a home device is no different from the procedure for connecting a home phone with a mobile phone that is registered in another city.

But before you call anyone, you should make sure that your landline phone supports long-distance service. Some subscribers (most often those who rent out apartments) may be blocked from making long-distance calls.

The process of dialing a long-distance cell phone:

Press the number 8 and wait for the beep.
Dial the operator code (consists of three digits).
Dial the subscriber himself (seven digits).

International call to a mobile phone from a home phone

From home you can even dial mobile phones that are owned by other states.

To do this, you should follow the uniform rules for dialing international numbers:

The constant 8 is at the head of the entire combination.
We connect internationally using combination 10 - this is the international access code.
Next comes the country code.
The city code of the foreign power (for dialing home users) or the cellular operator to which the subscriber is assigned.
And at the end - the mobile subscriber number itself.

It will be useful to view:

As you can see, there is nothing complicated about this. But it is worth noting that you should still write down your mobile number somewhere, since it is not always possible to remember long combinations of numbers.

As for country encodings, numerous telephone directories, which are available in any post office, will come to help. Also, many sites on the World Wide Web are saturated with such information.

For example, here are some codes of the CIS and Baltic countries:

We have also collected information about other popular destinations in Europe:

A country		A country
Austria	43	Italy	39
Bulgaria	359	Norway	47
Great Britain	44	Poland	48
Hungary	36	Portugal	351
Germany	49	Romania	40
Greece	30	Finland	358
Spain	34	France	33
Czech	420	Slovakia	421
Switzerland	41	Sweden	46

The rest of the world has the following encoding:

Australia - 61.
Brazil – 55.
China – 86.
Cuba – 53.
Egypt - 20.
India - 91.
Israel – 972.
Japan - 81.
Mexico – 52.
Sri Lanka – 94.
Taiwan – 886.
Türkiye – 90.
UAE – 971.
USA and Canada – 1.

Calling a subscriber internationally is not a cheap service - so be prepared for the fact that if the conversation is planned to be long, after some time the telephone company will send an invoice for a tidy sum. To avoid this, you can make calls from a mobile phone that has a tariff plan for such cases.

Additional information when calling from home to mobile

In our country, the international code that must be dialed to call home or mobile phones is considered to be 7 or 8.

If there is a need to call Russian users from abroad, you should dial the number in international format:

+7 – city or operator code – subscriber number, or
8 – city or operator code – user number

If you need to call something other than a mobile phone, then you should pay attention that the regional encoding may be different - each locality has its own.

So the code of the Moscow region is 496, but here are the combinations of other cities in this region:

Volokolamsk – 49636.
Voskresensk – 49644.
Domodedovo – 49679.
Dubna - 49621, etc.

Many organizations use extension numbers, which are a numeric identifier, to communicate with various departments. However, a subscriber who needs to connect to a specific employee sometimes has difficulties. Problems especially often arise for those who call from a mobile phone.

How to determine what extension number is in front of you?

Before dialing an extension number from a mobile phone, you need to determine whether it is actually the one in front of you. In the contact information of many companies for departments with extension numbers, several numbers are indicated after the main number, which are usually enclosed in parentheses. Or the word “additional” is written in front of them. They represent an employee or department code, which is determined by the serial number of the device when connected to the PBX. At the same time, the PBX can be virtual and forward calls from Skype, mobile and regular calls located in various branches.

How to dial an extension number from a mobile phone?

Unlike a city landline, mobile phones automatically switch to In a landline, before dialing an extension phone number, you must press *, and this will help it switch to tone mode. From phones that have a dial for dialing, calls to such numbers will be difficult and are only possible if the connection is made by an operator and not an answering machine. Owners of smartphones running Android or IOS have questions. The number keys usually collapse when making a call. And before dialing an extension number from a mobile phone, you need to call up this keyboard on the screen by pressing the symbolic icon. For phones with it, it is an icon in the form of ten small squares, nine of which are located at the top in three rows, and another one at the bottom. When you dial additional numbers on your mobile phone, you will hear characteristic sounds in the speaker.

Two options for connecting to an extension number

In the first case, you will need to dial the main number to make a call. Then wait for the operator or answering machine to respond and listen to the entire message. After that, you need to dial the numbers of the extension number, and the connection will occur. You will need to call back if you end up in the wrong department and the person who answers the phone refuses to transfer you. Although usually employees of large companies are quite loyal to callers and transfer the call to the required department. The second option for dialing an extension number from a mobile phone is not to wait for the end of the message, but to immediately continue entering additional numbers. In this case, the connection may fail or an error may occur. Owners of smartphones based on modern platforms can reduce the time it takes to listen to the entire message.

How to dial an extension number on a mobile phone if you have a smartphone?

For owners of mobile phones, the problem is that the operator begins to withdraw money from the phone account from the moment of connection. Therefore, if a call to the line is not free, then users try to do without listening to a message with the names of departments and numbers. Smartphone owners can dial any extension numbers using the pause button. To do this, you need to dial the necessary numbers and wait for the connection. Then press pause (its icon is usually located on the call screen) and enter additional numbers. You can try to start typing immediately after the connection, without first pressing the pause button, but this option does not always work. If there is any error in this case, it is best to hang up and call back. That's all, now you know how to dial an extension number on your mobile phone.

Instructions

Make sure your mobile phone number is in front of your eyes. Otherwise, if you take long pauses while typing numbers, remembering this or that digit, this can be interpreted by the telephone exchange as entering an area code. Thus, you risk making a call to another phone number of a subscriber you do not know.

Keep in mind that the main feature of calling from is dialing the first digit numbers. In this case, instead of “+7”, dial “8”. The prefix "+7" is the telephone code for Russia. The city PBX, which routes all telephone calls that are made from , assumes by default that calls are made within local subscribers. 8 is a number indicating that you need access to long-distance communications. In addition, this symbol is used if you need to carry out a number.

Dial eight and wait for the dial tone. Next, dial the remaining numbers in the same way as you would dial them on a mobile phone. First enter the operator code (Megafon, Beeline, MTS, etc.), consisting of three digits (928, 903, 918, etc.), then the remaining seven digits numbers called subscriber.

If you need to make a call to a mobile number belonging to an operator in another country, proceed as follows. Dial the number “8”, then dial “10” - for what you are doing. Then indicate the country code to which you are calling (you can find it on the relevant Internet resources or in the service). Next, in the same way as within your home network, dial the operator code and phone number. For example, in order to call Ukraine, you need to dial “8” (beep) “10” (long-distance call designation) “380” (Ukraine code) *** (operator code) ******* (telephone number subscriber).

Sometimes it happens that, while vacationing abroad or on a business trip abroad, we want to call our family and friends, we habitually dial “eight”, the city code, telephone number and understand that it is impossible to get through, since this algorithm does not work for international communications.

Instructions

After this, you need to dial the country's telephone code. For Russia it is “7” (seven). This is followed by the area code and the number of the called subscriber (they must total 10 digits). Please note that the domestic long-distance access code (“8”), which is often written when specifying the city code, does not need to be dialed.

Thus, in order, for example, to call from the USA to Moscow from a landline telephone (area code 495 or 499), the following dialing procedure is required: 011-7-495- (seven-digit subscriber number). When dialing from a mobile phone, the sequence will be simplified: + 7 -495- (seven-digit subscriber number). When calling a mobile phone, the dialing sequence will essentially remain the same as in Russia: + 7 – three-digit code of the cellular operator – seven-digit subscriber number.

Tip 3: How to dial an international phone number format

International recruitment numbers is somewhat different from the usual calls within the city or country. To reach a subscriber abroad, you will need to perform several simple operations.

Instructions

Decide from the beginning that you will call from numbers mobile operator or numbers fixed line, since different codes can be used to enter the telecommunications space. To call to any country in the world, regardless of the telecommunications company you use, you need to know the country code, city or region code, and subscriber number.

When calling from Russia, use code 8-10 to access international communications using fixed-line numbers. For example: 8-10-(country code) (city code)(number) of the subscriber. CIS countries have a standard international format dialing: Russia, Kazakhstan: +7 (yyy) xxx xx xx (11 digits) . Ukraine: + 38 (yyy) xxx xx xx (12 digits), for calls to Belarus: + 375 (yy) XXX XX XX (12 digits). Number of digits in set numbers phone depends on the country code.

In accordance with these format Ami, dial 8-10, then the country code, then the subscriber number. Please note that when typing in format e 8-10 (for fixed-line communications), the “+” sign of the country code is not dialed. Depending on the service provider, code 8-10 may vary. In this form, it is used when calling through Rostelecom. When calling through the Arktel telecom operator, dial the following combination: 8-26- (country code) (zone code in the country) (city code in the zone) (number phone subscriber). If you are calling through International Transit Telecom you should dial: 8-58- (country code) (area code in the country) (city code in the area) (number phone subscriber).

For recruitment numbers from mobile phone, it is necessary to apply the above international format, which must begin with a “+” sign. For example, to call to Ukraine, dial: +380 (xxx) yyy-yy-yy. To make calls to countries not listed earlier, use the algorithms presented above.

dialing an international number

Many probably have relatives or friends living in other cities. The need to contact them, as a rule, arises at least once a year. If calls to a landline phone cost you less, you are forced to remember the area code, enter it and wait for the other side to pick up the phone. With such a long-distance connection, the most problems arise not because of the quality of the connection, but precisely when searching for and dialing the desired number.

You will need

landline or mobile phone

Instructions

To call another city, you must complete the following sequence of actions. Pick up the handset and after a continuous signal appears, dial the number “8” - the index through which you can access the long-distance service.

Then dial the area code you intend to call. The number of the called party is dialed last. As an example, consider a call to the city of Novosibirsk. To call a subscriber you will need to dial the following long-distance number: 8-383-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ.

Often, when making a call, along with the communication index, city code and subscriber number, you also need to enter the code of the long-distance telephone operator you have chosen for the connection. In this case, they say that the number was dialed in “hot-choice” mode or, in other words, in the mode of selecting a long-distance operator.

Today, long-distance telephone services in our country are provided by 7 operators. These are Equant LLC, Rostelecom OJSC, MTT OJSC (Interregional Transit Telecom OJSC), SCS Sovintel OJSC, Arktel CJSC, Synterra CJSC and TransTeleCom Company CJSC.

If a long-distance call is made through the long-distance operator MTT OJSC, the called number will look like this (an example is still a call to Novosibirsk): 8-53-383-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ.
If OJSC Rostelecom is selected, then 8-55-383-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ.
If you are calling using SCS Sovintel OJSC, the long-distance number will look like 8-51-383-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ.
Equant LLC: 8-54-383-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ.
CJSC TransTeleCom Company: 8-52-383-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ.
ZAO Synterra: 8-22-383-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ.
Arktel CJSC: 8-21-383-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ.
It should be noted that in addition to long-distance calls, the above-mentioned long-distance operators make international calls.

Landline phones are gradually losing their importance in the lives of modern people. For many, it is simply out of habit, because it was inherited from their parents. Some people use it to save money, for long-distance or international calls, and some enterprising people use it to slightly increase the cost of their telephone-connected home. Performing the functions of a stationary phone today took over the mobile, while significantly expanding them. The parallel existence of two types of telephone communication gave rise to the question of how to call from a landline phone to a cell phone.

Instructions

If you do not often call this cell phone number, then before calling, make sure that it is at hand (written down on paper, displayed on the display of your mobile device, etc.). If you spend too long searching for the required numbers when dialing, the call will be dropped by the automatic telephone exchange and you will have to start dialing again.

To call a federal - ten-digit - cell phone number, start dialing with eight. Then wait for the continuous tone and enter all ten digits of the mobile number. If you are given a number of twelve characters, simply discard the Russian code (+7) at the beginning; you do not need to dial it.

A call to a city cell number follows the same rules as to a landline landline phone. It consists of seven or fewer digits and dialing within one city has no special features. For calls to such a cell phone from another city, the usual dialing rules apply - first enter eight, then, after waiting for a long beep, the area code and phone number.

If you need to call from a landline phone to a cell phone in another country, you should also start dialing with eight. After a long beep appears, enter the international connection code. Usually this number is 10, but some carriers may have a different number. If the ten does not work, check the value in the help desk or in the information section of your operator’s website. After the international connection code, dial the international code of the country to which you are calling. This number does not depend on the telecom operator and is the same not only within one country, but throughout the planet. For example, the international code for Greece is 30 everywhere, and the code for Germany is 49. After the country code, enter the ten digits of your cell phone number. Please note that mobile numbers in some countries - such as China - are made up of eleven digits.

Many Russians, especially those who lived in the Soviet Union, still do not perceive the former republics as separate states. This is one of the reasons why typing Ukrainian numbers sometimes causes difficulties. In this case, you must follow the same algorithm as when calling any foreign subscriber.

You will need

- mobile or landline phone;
- tables of state and city codes.

Instructions

When calling to any locality in Ukraine from a landline phone located in Russia, you must first connect to a long-distance line. Pick up the phone. You probably know whether your PBX is digital or not. In the second case, wait until a long beep appears. Dial “8” in the same way as you do when calling to another Russian city.

The procedure for dialing an international number from a mobile phone is slightly, but fundamentally different from calling a domestic subscriber. You can dial a number registered in the same country as yours in both domestic and international format and still get through. But to successfully call a foreign subscriber, a strictly international format is required.

You will need

Mobile phone;
- subscriber number.

Instructions

Unlock your phone's keypad if you use the lock feature. The procedure depends on the specific phone model you are using; a prompt usually appears on the display after pressing any key. Press the "+" (plus) key. Wait until this symbol appears on the display. If this does not happen after a few seconds, press it again. Please use an alternative international format if desired. When you are in Russia, this is a combination of numbers 810. Using plus is more convenient because by default it will provide an international dialing format, no matter what country you are in and no matter what numbers, which you may not know, this option is provided in it. Dial the country code you want to call. For example, the code of Ukraine is 38, the UK is 44, etc. Dial the city code or mobile operator of the foreign subscriber you are calling. Most often this is a combination of three numbers, but it can be more - four, five, and in some rare cases, six. Dial the number of the person you are calling. It usually consists of seven digits. The general rule is: the fewer digits in the city code or mobile operator, the more of them there are in the subscriber number. In this case, the total number of digits in the combination, including the code and phone number, in most cases is ten. After dialing the last digit, press the call key and wait for the connection. Dial the operator's local number if you use an IP telephony card to make a call (this allows you to save on international and long-distance calls). Follow the voice prompts while waiting for a connection, or the instructions on the map. Most often, you must enter the code indicated on the card, then you can contact the telephone operator or dial the desired foreign number yourself from the keypad of your phone. In the second case, the procedure is the same as described in steps 4 - 8: as a rule, you need to dial the country code, city code and subscriber number, in some cases you will also need numbers indicating the international nature of the call.
