international prefixes for US phone numbers?
yawnmoth wrote:
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ List_of_international_call_prefixes, the international prefix for the US is 011. *Does that mean that if I wanted to give someone in the UK a US phone number, I'd give them 011-111-222-2222 (where 111 is the area code and 222-2222 is the phone number)? As numerous other people have written to give a US number to somebody in the UK you should tell them + 1 and then the area code and number GSM mobile phones are programmed to accept the + sign so that you can make a foreign call no matter which country you are in. FWIW the UK changed the International Access code to 00 some years ago to be in line with the other countries of the then Common Market, so 00 should now get you an international call from anywhere in the EU Of course if you are callint TO the UK you use + 44 and then the area code and number (not forgetting to omit any initial zero on the area code) |
