I added the International plan and calls automatically end after about 5 seconds. What am I doing wrong?
I added the international plan while I'm in Mexico to call back home to US. It isn't working, I dial +1 areacode number and it automatically ends call after about 5 seconds. What am I doing wrong??

Well that explains it. There is no roaming plan addition for Gophone. You added a long distance plan for calling FROM the US TO other countries. It doesn’t cover roaming out of the US
You must have a $45 plan or higher to roam in Mexico or Canada with no charges.

You do not dial a 1 when calling another US number. Dial the number as if you were in the US.

@lizdance40 It shouldn’t matter, the call should go through either way, with the +1 or without. There must be some other reason for the calls failing. @Beckster22, what plan do you have and what international plan did you add? If you have postpaid service, make sure you have the international “pay per use” feature on your account.

I have the $30/mo Gophone plan. I added international calling just for this month but it will not work. Whenever I try to call the US there is a message in Spanish I don't understand. I can't text either as they do not go thru. Very disappointed as I wanted to use my phone here. I tried dialling with and without the prefix numbers. Anyone have an idea??

As @lizdance40 points out, only the $45 and $65 plans include calls from Mexico, all other plans are charged by the minute. @Beckster22 Since you don’t have one of those plans, your calls aren’t going through likely because you don’t have enough money on your account to pay for the calls. You need to add money to your account.

@Beckster22 You have to add the right plan. You specifically added a long distance plan.
