international calling

does anyone know what the charges will be if i called someone i know who is in china. i randomly felt like dialing the number (without dialing all the international extention numbers)thinking it wouldnt connect and it worked. does that mean its regular long distance or still the international charge.

You best bet is to get a calling card and avoid any potential financial calamities with your cell phone provider

Yeah... international calling is going to be $1.25/minute or more - and be careful: Canada is considered international even though you can direct dial it (you don't have to dial 011 first). Calling card is definitely the way to go.
