International service access issues
Unless explicitly included in your Pro 30 or Premium 50, international services must be purchased prior to use.
Quick first checks:
- Make sure Airplane mode is off.
- Try turning off your mobile device, wait about 10 seconds, and turn it back on.
- Check if service is available in the country you’re visiting, calling or texting.
- Perform a manual network selection to a Partner Mobile roaming partner in that country at least three times.
- Log in to your my.prontomobile.com account to ensure you have sufficient funds in your International wallet.
Issues with calls or text:
Double check the phone number and make sure you are dialing it correctly.
- Dial the plus sign + followed by the country code before the number.
- If using your phone’s native dialer, press and hold the zero (0) to add the plus sign.
- To call/text US and Canada, dial +1, the area code, and the number (e.g., +1-555-555-5555).
- To call/text other countries, dial + followed by the country code, city code, and number.
- You can search and find the country code here.
- If there is a zero listed before the city code, remove the zero.
- If you hear an automated message that says a two digit number, you must enter the number you hear to complete the call.
- For emergency calls, dial 1-1-2 when traveling internationally.
- 9-1-1 may also be used in some countries in addition to 1-1-2.
- If in doubt, check the local directory or other resources for the emergency number in that country.
- Toll-free numbers like 1-800 and 1-888 may not work while abroad. Seek alternative numbers for any you may want to call while travelling.
Issues with data:
- If you’ve validated that purchased/sufficiently funded data roaming, and tried the quick first checks above, follow our standard data troubleshooting steps here.
- Remember: Pronto’s automatic network switching is available in the United States only—at least for now!
