International Calls

Steven bought his very first cell phone a few weeks ago and now accessible anytime, any where. I, on the otherhand, haven't figured out how to get in touch with T-Mobile to unlock my SIM card, yet, but plan to do it next week. Then we will actually be able to call each other on the go. Very exciting.

Steven's number is 01234451083, but we haven't quite figured out how you would call that from overseas. I found this on line:

Instructions for Calling to Cell Phones in Vietnam

For calls to Vietnamese cellular phones, a 2-digit code must be dialed in place of the area code. This 2-digit code always begins with 9, and the second digit depends upon the cellular provider. These cellular codes include the following:

• 91(Vinaphone)
• 90 (Mobiphone)
• 98 (Viettel)
• 95 (S-phone)
• 96 (EVN-Telecom)

If calling a Vietnamese Vinaphone cell phone from abroad, you would then dial 011-84-91-xxx-xxxx. If calling the same cell phone from within Vietnam, you would include the required 0 and dial 0-91-xxx-xxxx.

According to this, if you want to get in touch with us, it looks like you would dial - 011-84-91-445-2083, but of course I could be wrong.

We'd love to hear from you if you have the time and the money for a call. Remember we are 11 hours ahead.

Let me know if you try and it doesn't work. Talk to you soon!
