- You should be able to, but you probably have to call your wireless provider and make sure your account is set up to do so. Sometimes it's automatically on, and sometimes you have to request it.
- A mobile should be able to receive phone calls from any number whether national or international (or at least that is how it is here in New Zealand). If someone cannot call your phone from overseas, make sure they are dialling the international code before the cellphone number. Often the first number of a cellphone number is replaced by the international code eg: If your cellphone number is 021 499 391, and you live in New Zealand, then someone calling from overseas will need to dial 0061 21 499 391. Call your provider for further clarification.
The international dialling code for New Zealand is "64", while "61" is for Australia. Calling a NZ cell phone from Australia, should be, if I follow the advice above "0011 64 21 499 391". At least, that is what I am going to try.
