Contact Information

These are our cell phone numbers should anyone Stateside want to contact you during your visit:

+221-77-641-8786 Jeanne
+221-77-245-6722 Aaron

Note that the "+" works on cell phones. I believe that if you dial from a land line, you will have to dial 011 to gain access to an international line in place of the "+".

Again, if you want to access an international line in the US, it is 011. The Senegal country code is 221. Thus, to call me, dial:

011221772456722 Aaron
011221776418786 Jeanne

Please share this number(s) so that you can be contacted in case of emergency. We always have our phones, so there is no need for any other number which will only lead to confusion.

I use the "+" because international access is different in different countries, but the "+" always works from a cell phone and makes the number look much nicer.

If you want to use your cell phone here, it probably won't work. Cell phones that you get with the cellular service providers in the US are always locked to the service provider. The phones cannot be used with other services.

My phone is unlocked and uses a SIM card, which is why it works in the US. If your phone is unlocked and uses a SIM card, feel free to bring it. Otherwise, it won't work.
