Making Calls
How to Make a Local Call: Use the same procedures to dial locally from your phone as you would from a landline phone in
Angola.
How to Make an International call: Dial the international access code for Angola, then enter the country code for the country you
are calling, finally enter the phone number you are calling Example: Calling Manhattan, NY, from Angola: Dial "00" (The international access code for Angola) then "1" (The United
States' country code) then the phone number.
Example: Calling London, from Angola: Dial "00" then "44" (The United Kingdom's country code) then the phone number.
How to Use Plus Code Dialing: Placing calls is simplified with the use of the Plus (+) Code Dialing feature. To use this feature to
place an international call simply press and hold the 0 (zero) key to insert a “+” on the screen. The appropriate international access code for the country you are in will be automatically dialed. After the plus dial the country code and number you wish to reach. Example: Calling Manhattan, NY: Dial "+" then 1 then the phone number.
Receiving Calls
Callers do not need to dial anything different and they will not pay extra to reach you, simply ensure your device is in CDMA First and powered on as stated above. Roaming rates apply to you only.
