    Knock of the first 0 and use the international dialing code for the home country.

    I presume yours is +34

    So if the number is 07508123456

    So you dial +347508123456

    Is her mobile phone from Spain or Portugal?

    Are you sure they just don't want to speak to you?

    Her mobile is from Portugal. And no, i am sure that she wants to talk with me.

    Also, an hour ago I sent her an email, and she said she did not got any calls from me so i must be doing something wrong.

    If the mobile phone / sim card is from Portugal, the dialing code you should be using is +351

    Exactly. You don't dial the international code for the country the mobile is in, you dial the normal number that you would use to call her in Portugal (assuming she has a Portugese SIM). The network then 'finds' the phone, even if it is abroad on another network.
    Is her phone enabled for roaming? Can she call you or other Portugese numbers.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
