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

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!

0044 for getting out of Germany, or 01044 for getting out of the UK or whatever...

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.
