I've never traveled abroad with a cell phone.
I bought 2 Samsungs with Tru SIMs off ebay for an upcoming trip to Europe.
I know nothing about international dialing except you must use a country code when calling. I assume I need to put in country codes in when loading my contact for calling back home.
I plan to activate the SIMs with local (Missouri USA) numbers. I won't be making many calls so price per minute is not terribly important.

When I'm calling my wife at her USA number even tho she's close by but we're both in another country do I dial the USA country code?

If I make a local call while abroad do I dial the country code even if its just down the street?

Be gentle, thanks
