Can Someone Give Me Step-By-Step Instructions on How To Call My Friend Back In America From Russia??

Can Someone Give Me Step-By-Step Instructions on How To Call My Friend Back In Russia? I have a friend who lives in Tomsk, Russia, and she's trying to call me on my cell phone here in America, and she's having some trouble she tried calling by dialing 1+area code+7 digit telephone number, and it didn't work. Can anyone help us out? Can someone give her step by step instructions how to do so? I'll copy and paste your answer and e-mail it to her. Thanks, so much

the best way for both of you would be connecting to www.skype.com - it's every language-friendly. then you connect web-cam and talk through PC - it's free and it's a video phone. you can also pre-pay some amount of money (not a lot) and call to cell phones or land lines. calling here, your friend should know country's code - for example, to call from here to Russia, you would dial 011-7-city code-number - she should find out at her local phone station.
hope it'll help.
