Answered by Cody Janus

To make an international call on your Samsung Galaxy S10, follow these steps:

1. Open the Phone app on your device. It usually has a green phone icon.
2. Tap on the keypad icon at the bottom of the screen to open the dial pad.
3. Look for the zero (0) key on the dial pad and tap and hold it. After a moment, the plus sign (+) will appear on the screen.
4. While still holding the zero key, slide your finger to the left to select the plus sign. Release your finger to enter the plus sign.
5. Now you need to enter the country code for the country you are calling. The country code is a series of digits that uniquely identifies each country. For example, the country code for the United States is 1, while the country code for the United Kingdom is 44. You can find the country code for the country you want to call by doing a quick search online.
6. Once you have entered the country code, enter the rest of the local number you wish to call. This includes the area code and the individual phone number. Make sure to omit any leading zeros or any other additional digits that are not part of the local number.
7. when you are ready to make the call, press the green call button located at the bottom of the screen. Your Samsung phone will then initiate the call and connect you to the international number you dialed.

Here are a few additional tips to ensure a successful international call:

– Make sure you have sufficient calling credit or an international calling plan with your service provider. International calls can be more expensive than domestic calls, so it’s important to check your plan or add credit if needed.
– Double-check the country code and the local number you are dialing to avoid any mistakes. Even a small error can result in the call not going through or being connected to the wrong person.
– If you are calling a mobile number, keep in mind that some countries have different formats for mobile numbers. For example, in some countries, mobile numbers start with a different digit or have a different number of digits compared to landline numbers.
– If you are calling a different time zone, be mindful of the time difference to ensure you are calling at an appropriate time for the recipient.

By following these steps and considering these tips, you should be able to make international calls on your Samsung Galaxy S10 without any issues.
