Cell phones + phone cards?

In London and Paris, can you use locally purchased phone cards to
make international calls from a cell phone equipped with a
British or French SIM? Would the call be charged as a local
mobile call to the local access number and then the international
part debited from the prepaid phone card?

in the uk, sometimes and somtimes not. Unless they have recently
been barred from doing this the mobile companies block access to
these calling card numbers, but they don't always do it sucessfully.

As you can probably guess, I'm trying to avoid expensive
international cell calls but still have the convenience of
phoning from my mobile.
