• For business calls, be punctual and keep to scheduled times; short notice rescheduling should be explained

Reaching United Kingdom via Apps

International Calling Requirements in Germany

• Ensure your mobile or fixed line plan includes international calling; many basic tariffs block IDD by default
• Dial 00 or use + on mobiles, then country code, area or mobile code, and subscriber number
• Some providers require enabling international or premium destinations via customer portal or support
• Prepaid SIMs may need sufficient balance and sometimes an initial ID check before IDD is allowed
• For cheaper IDD from landlines, optional carrier selection prefixes (010xx) can be used before 00

Troubleshooting Calls to United Kingdom

Call cannot be completed as dialed or fast busy tone when calling abroad - Check you used 00 or +, removed the foreign trunk 0, and that international calling is enabled on your line
Announcement that the number is not reachable or blocked - Verify the destination number format and that your plan allows calls to that country or range
High unexpected charges on bill after international calls - Review your tariff, consider adding an international option, or use VOIP or 010xx discount providers
