International roaming

[redmum]

Those of you who know me will know how I can live up to the blonde stereotype every now and then, especially when it comes to these technological gadget things like phones....

Other half is overseas. His phone is from work, international roaming activated.
I have an iPhone with telstra, I have been told international roaming is activated.

When I call his mobile, I simply get a tone like a prolonged engaged signal...

How come he can call me ok, but I can't call him?

It's a man v woman thing

I knew this thread was not going to give me the answers I was looking for....

Different countries have different ring tones (ie. a the Australian engaged tone can be a normal ring tone in another country).

Your prolonged engaged tone may be just the phone is ringing and you hang up before he gets his bit on the side to be quiet before he can answer it

Thanks, I finally worked that out, after he told me he'd missed about 5 calls ;)
FaceTime via his iPad also working now, so all is well
