How do I text someone in Finland from America


How do I text someone in Finland from America?
I have their phone number and they said to put +358 in the front of their number when I text them. I tried that and it didn't work. I had them try to text me but that didn't work either. What do I need to do? So as an example if the number was 358 040 123 4567 it would be 011 358 040 123 4567?

The + in Europe is a 00 but from the US you have to do the following: 011 358 and the the rest of this persons number Good luck!

The answer from Robin is correct - no idea why someone gave a thumb down. To call you, they almost certainly dial 001-area code-number (ex. 001-212-123-4567). To call them you dial 011-country code-number. Note that many European phone numbers start with a zero when they dial domestically. When calling them from abroad you drop the zero, so if their phone number (without the +358) is 0123456789, you would dial 011-358-123456789 from the USA. Finally, check with your phone or cellular provider. You may need to set-up "international calling" before you can call or text to numbers abroad. Customer service for cellphones is usually 611.
