I-DIAL
Making international calls, and roaming in most countries, requires international dialing capability (I-Dial) on your account. You can make calls to and roam in some North American countries without I-Dial; see International Services for details. I-Dial requires a minimum payment history and contract term, and a security deposit may be required. Failure to maintain these requirements may result in I-Dial suspension without notice. You can remove I-Dial at any time by calling Customer Service. For South Korea, see the special instructions below.
