calling US mobile phone while they are traveling

I want to call/text someone who lives in US, has US Verizon account, and is traveling.    I think the format to enter for the text or the call is:

011309999999999     011 is prefix, 30 is country code (Greece) and the 9's represent this person's 10 digit US phone number.    Am I correct?

Great question. You can call a customer outside of the country by dialing normally, the call will route to them no matter where they are as long as they have service.  ~Peter

I've never tried to call someone with a US mobile number while they were overseas, but first, they'd have to have an international service plan attached to their account for their Verizon phone number to even work.  If you call them, I think you just call as if they were in the US and it goes to their voicemail.  Second, the process you described would call whatever number that corresponds to in Greece, so I don't think it would call the person you're thinking of.  If this person is using a local SIM card for service in Greece, then you'd follow that process but call whatever local phone number they have on their Greek service.
