▪ How to Make an International call: Dial the international access code for Nauru, then enter the country code for the country you
are calling, finally enter the phone number you are calling
▪ Example: Calling Manhattan, NY, from Nauru: Dial "00" (The international access code for Nauru) then "1" (The United States'
country code) then the phone number.
▪ Example: Calling London, from Nauru: Dial "00" 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 in Global Mode and

Accessing Voicemail
You must know your voicemail passcode to access voicemail outside of the U.S. If you do not know your passcode, you may reset it at
sprint.com:

▪ Then "1" and your Sprint 10 digit number
▪ When voicemail answers, press * (star) and enter the voicemail passcode followed by # (pound).
Texting
Sending a text while traveling is identical to sending a text from home. Texts can only be sent to international carriers supported by
Sprint. For a list of supported carriers select ‘International Texting From US’ from www.sprint.com/international, then select the link for
international carriers.
- To send a text to a U.S.-based number or to any number within the North American Numbering Plan (NANP)* simply enter the
10-digit number
- To send a text to a non-US or non-NANP*-based number, enter 011 then the country code and number
Note: Texting does not support + key dialing. Contact numbers stored in the address book with a + must be deleted prior to
sending a text to that contact.
You will need to enable your device to send texts while roaming on GSM networks. Once the steps to enable the device for sending
texts on GSM networks are completed you will be able to send texts on any available network while traveling internationally; this
process only needs to be completed once.
