How do I make calls or send text messages to someone locally or internationally?
A.) When you purchase a local SIM card (“Beeline” operator is the best option), it takes less than a minute to activate, and can be verified by seeing the name of the service provider which appears on your mobile phone screen. Your number will display as eg. +998 (country code) 90 (service provider code) 1234567 (actual seven digit mobile phone number). You may make calls to anyone locally by only dialing the last seven digits. You may send a text message to anyone locally by using the entire number, or internationally by using the country code (for eg. India +91) followed by their ten digit mobile number. Incoming calls are not charged and so you can receive calls or text messages from your friends, family and relatives if they dial the entire number eg. +998 90 1234567.
