No, it has never connected before. And its not an add on like the picture you posted, rather its the free int'l 500 minutes, appearing in my plan.

Those minutes include India but not UAE. If an area code you're calling has a zero in front then don't use the zero.

Click on the little spinner refresh icons lower down to make sure you're seeing current info.

@Atif

log in to your account to see if you have the correct add-on. The add-on you need is the 750 India- Pakistan Long Distance Minutes ($15). None of the other add-ons include calling there. If you have the free 500 Minutes from last Christmas..those minutes did include calling to India.

International calling covers the following countries: Canada, United States, China, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Italy, South Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom, and Venezuela

If your spouse is with Public then she's getting an undocumented benefit. Apparently you're not.

If you can log in to your account then you'll see spinner refresh icons. One is by the shop add-ons button. Click it to make sure you still have those minutes. Maybe you don't.

UAE has never been on any list of countries to call using Public. There have been some countries that were callable and they turned those off. Maybe it's account dependent. Did you answer whether your spouse is with Public?

You dial +91 and number. If they provided any number starting with 0 then omit first zero. It should be 10 digit number. So either dual 00191 followed by India number or +91 and India number.
