OKarte possibilities abroad
When going abroad, take your OKarte with you! You can use OKarte almost everywhere in the world – in
178 countries in networks of
337 foreign operators in Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas.
Important info!
Starting from 1 July 2011 OKarte is decreasing tariffs in European Economic Area (EEA) countries:
- you can receive calls at a 21% lower rate;
- you can call to Latvia and other EEA countries at a 9% lower rate!
Calling to Latvia with Callback will still be more beneficial than calling directly.
Outside EEA countries you will be charged for the received calls for full minutes as for calls to Latvia.
To make and receive calls, and send messages, while abroad, your OKarte account balance shall be at least LVL 1.00.
Tariffs
Tariffs for the services used in the while abroad are applied depending on the region and the network of the foreign operator one has selected.
Make sure you select LMT friendly network marked by a smiley simbol :-) it will allow you to save significantly!
It will allow you to save considerably!

+country code and XXXXXXXX. For example, for the call to Estonia: +372XXXXXXXX.
In such a way you may call also numbers of the country, you are visiting.
Foreign emergency services may be dialled as follows: 112 and the dial key.
Callback
Callback is the best way to call from OKarte, while abroad, especially in the countries, where no direct calls are possible.
