Can a soldier use his cell phone in Afghanistan?
This is usually an "on/off" issue, i.e., either you have internet access or not.If you're off-grid in the field, you have no access to the outside world, whether internet or cell phone.If you're at a base, you usually have full Facebook, email, etc. access and are able to buy a cell phone from a local vendor.Most questions like this are asked to make someone feel better about wiring money to a "US Servicemember" who asked for money.I've been in the military for over 23 years. I've never heard of another real servicemember who has asked random people on the internet for money, and certainly not for any legitimate reason.Here's how you know that someone posing as a servicemember is scamming you:You've never physically met him or her, and,They ask for money or gift cardsHere are my tips regarding anyone you've never physically met:If you're speaking to someone in another country or other place far away by email or phone and have never physically met them, you aren't their fiance. I recommend you don't even call yourself their girlfriend/boyfriend.Remember that anyone with access to email and who needs money can use that same email to contact real family and friends they actually know and have met in person.Regarding servicemembers:Unless you're personally traveling to meet a servicemember, you won't need to pay for anything the servicemember needs or does. And I do mean anything. They can be thrown in jail by the military and you still won't need to pay anything.The military branches have relief funds to help young, poor military members who need baby supplies, travel for emergencies, provide phone cards, fix their cars, etc. If they have a close family member die when on deployment, even malingerers get personal help from the command to take care of what they need.Given the prevalence of military email scams, it's a 99.99% chance that anyone emailing you claiming to be a servicemember and asking for money isn't in the military at all.

The phone number is assigned to you, (and the responsibility of you and your provider) switching works by finding first country code then area code then region code then the last 4 are yor number.

Someone called me from a number +5044. what does this mean?
Dont worry. Its mostly a call from abroad. People abroad use calling cards to call other people in other countries. Its cheaper that way. When you use a calling card, sometimes the receiver cant see ur number but sees something like +5044 or +312 or sometimes just +1 It doesnt mean anything and you can answer such calls. Maybe its a friend from abroad or something. :)
How do I make free international calls to mobiles and landlines?
There are not many ways to make free international calls to mobile and landline numbers, though with recent advancement of technology such options are now available through several mobile apps.First of all, you have to possess an Android or IOS smartphone in order to be able to download and use those apps, which offer you free call options. Among such calling apps is Pinngle, which offers 100% free international calls to its users.After you download the application on your smartphone you will be offered to gather credits by scrolling the roulette. Any time you scroll it you will randomly earn credits from 10 to 300. According to these credits you can make international free calls to any number.The idea behind such strategy of offering free calls via credits is very simple. When you scroll the roulette and win a credit you are also shown an advertisement from partner websites and applications. So you win a credit and the application which offers you a free call for that credits gets its payment from the advertising company which shows the advertisement to you.Apart from scrolling the roulette, there are several other options to win credits. You may just watch advertising short video for 35 credits or download a new game, pass several levels and win up to 3000 credits.If you need to call to international numbers, then Pinngle is for you, because every day you may earn 25000 credits or more, and in fact this is a huge number. For example, in order to call to US mobile number you need to have just 130 credits for one minute, or you need only 260 credits for a one minute call to India. So if you really go with Pinngle and earn 25000 credits every day you may every day talk to a US number for 192 minutes and to India for 96 minutes.You may learn more about different ways to earn Pinngle credit here http://pinngle.me/blog/pinngle/h...

What does it mean when my phone rings 1 time then gives a busy signal when someone tries to call me?
It could mean that your call is being forwarded someone, and the destination number is either busy or unreachable. Another possibility is that your phone is on Do Not Disturb, and the call is trying to go to voicemail, but your voicemail box or voicemail service is not working properly.
How can I get an American phone number outside the US?
I completely agree with Jessica Todd. Too many people answer questions like these too quickly.Q: How do I get a US phone numberA: Uhhh, hurr durr, just sign up for Google Voice!What many, if not all of them, fail to mention is the requirement you need to fulfill in order to register for a Google Voice account, and that is to already have an existing US phone number.Thankfully, there are plenty of services out there that offer American phone numbers that you can get no matter where you are from.One such service (One of the best, if you ask me) is Freeje’s Virtual SIM. It operates through their app that you can download from the Google Play Store or from the Apple Store. If you want more info, you can find it here.
