Jordan To The Usa On Fastlink Mobile

austyb · 01-06-2006, 20:24

Hi, my wife is in Jordan and cannot call me in the US. She could but the cost is prohibitive.
Is it possible for me to SMS her a calling card number so she can phone me?

YES, but it might take several messages. You need local (Jordan) call in #, PIN and possibly other codes - with ATT you need the 10 digit US ATT call in #.

Why can't you call HER?

She can go to internet cafe and send you her hotel # via email, no? Or maybe they have call shops as in Europe. Or she can buy or borrow a Jordanian cell, no?

Good luck.

Thanks Stan,

She has a local phone (Fastlink) but can only reveive text. She could call if I sent to her an international pin.

She lives there and is awaiting me but I cannot reach her without paying 3 bucks per minute!!!

Make sure ATT or MCI allow calling FROM Jordan if you go that way. I cannot verify that right now. It seems ONESUITE AND ENJOYPREPAID do not have access in Jordan.

LDpost.com seems to have a card that will work.

If you have high speed internet, look at voipgate.com only 11 cents a minute to a Jordanian mobile.

Can she dial a US number regardless of rate? I was wondering about a callback service?

Also, here is an interesting SMS based callback service specifically targetting the Middle East:
