Traveling In Nauru
Prior to traveling for the first time you should contact Sprint Worldwide Care to verify services will work for all trips abroad. Sprint Worldwide Care can be reached via chat or email on Sprint.com/international or by calling 1-888-226-7212 (option 2). Upon arriving in Nauru you will need to power on the device to access voice and texting services; data services (web/email) are not available with the Motorola V555.
Casual International Roaming rates in Nauru are as follows:
▪Voice Calls: $3.49/minute for all calls placed and received, regardless of call destination.
▪Texts: Sent: $0.50/recipient; Received: $0.05/message
▪Special Rate: Not currently available.
Making Calls
▪How to Make a Local Call: Use the same procedures to dial locally from your Motorola V555 as you would from a landline phone in Nauru.
▪How to Make an International call: Placing international 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, from Nauru: Dial "+", then "1" (The United States' country code) then the phone number
▪Example: Calling London, from Nauru: Dial "+" then "44" (The United Kingdom's country code) 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 powered on. Roaming rates apply to you only.
