important question: international phonecalls

OK, heres my problem.
If I'm calling a UK number from Germany, I have to dial:
0044xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
the same if I want to call a mobile phone.
BUT
what happens, if I am calling a UK mobile with my German mobile IN THE UK?
Do I still have to call 0044xxx or just the number 'normal' UK phoners had to call.

I have seriously no idea.

AND, thats not all:
What do I have to do, if I am calling a USA number IN THE UK with my German mobile phone?

That really depends on your moble phone provider.

Once you arrive in the UK you should get a text message fomr the local provider who hosts your service here in the UK, that will tell you how and what to dial.

When I go to France with work, my mobile allows me to dial back to the UK as if I am dialling from the UK. Can't tell you how it works with dialling to other countries though, as I never dial them :))

Hope he's got plenty of credit on his phone, or a wheelbarrow of cash!!

Probably a lot easier just to text.

You stil have to add 0044!
And be aware: (despite having a german mobile phone number) if you want to be connected to a german number.... you will have to add the entrance number of Germany, when being in the UK.

Store or dial the phone numbers with the international dialing prefix +49, +44, +351 or whatever and your mobile phone decides how and when to apply the prefixes!

RTFM FTW! :bleh:

Yes, but the question is WHAT TO CALL before the country code.
0044 for getting out of Germany, or 01044 for getting out of the UK or whatever...:confused:

if you are dialling within the UK while you are visiting here, put +44 on all the English numbers. If you are phoning Germany, I'm sure someone said the prefix was +49 but you'll have to check that as I've never called Germany.

Nothing. A german mobile phone number looks like this (for Vodafone/D2): 0172 / 1234567. With the dial prefix it would be: +49 172 1234567. That's all you need. For your english example it would be +44 ... . Your phone/provider changes this prefix to whatever is needed to dial out of the current country.

All times are GMT +2. The time now is 14:31.
