Can I make calls or send texts internationally?
Last updated: May 4, 2026
International calling and texting — contacting numbers in other countries from your home country — is a separate feature from roaming and is not included on most plans by default.
This covers calling or texting international numbers from your home country. If you are travelling abroad, see Does my plan include roaming? instead.
How to check if your plan includes international calling or texting
- Open the app → My Plan or Plan Details
- Look for International calls, International texts, or International use
- If not listed, it is most likely not included
Dialing format for international calls and texts
Must use the full international format: + [country code] [number without leading zero]
Country | Example format |
UK | +44 7700 900000 |
US | +1 212 555 0100 |
Germany | +49 30 12345678 |
On most devices, enter + by holding down the 0 key on the dial pad.
