calling mobiles

Sorry if this is a really silly question, if you are calling a mobile number in the UK from india, do you just treat it like a landline number, dialling the international codes, then the number?

If family wanted to call my mobile in India(I will have a local sim)again is it the same as if they were calling a landline?

I've googled this, but can't find mobile specific answers.
Thanks

If somebody has to call a Indian Mobile phone from UK dial +91 followed by 10 digit mobile no.

I'm not very into cellphones, however I think it may depend on that person's phone package; I know some friends I just dial on their regular mobile number no matter where in the world they are. So no numbers added or anything. (Can of course work out crazy expensive, btw, and depending on package again, not just for you, but for the recipient as well. Take note of this, or if you plan to remain friends Can also lead to unpleasant surprises later to recipients who aren't aware of this. There'll often be a difference here between landline-landline, mobile-landline or vice versa, or mobile-mobile.)

If people here say calling to India, you add the land code first, then let's assume that is the case.

I suppose one can always try the one option first, then if no success, the other. If all else fails, call an international operator in the country where you are to put you through? They do exist still (I do believe?)

It is called international roaming. So to receive a call in India, I pay $3.59/min. People can choose to disable their international roaming because the charges go run up for India.

Try and use other services.Local connections are much cheaper than using your own phone.Paying anything more than 20 cents/min is useless.
