*You will need to snap out the thumbnail sized Chile SIM card along the perforated edge of its holder and then insert the Chile SIM card into your international cell phone with the gold contacts of the Chile SIM card facing the metal contacts of your international cellular phone.

**When calling overseas from the United States to your Chile cellular phone number callers will need to dial 011 followed by the country code 56 and then your Chile cell phone number, omitting the first 0 (zero). To call abroad from your Chile cellular phone, simply dial 00 + country code + area code + phone number. For example to call Planetomni you would dial 0018007070031

For calls to fixed lines within Chile you will need to enter a 0 followed by the area code and phone number. Example: To call to Santiago (area code 2) number 255-5555 you would dial 025555555. If the number is from Vina del Mar: (area code 32) you would dial 0322555555.
