how do i call london???????

[smashfactory]

i am in the us- i want to call a number in london- it strts with 0044 (0) then a 7 digit number- but when i start to dial it, as soon as i dial 00, it starts ringing and i cant dial the rest-

any uk'ers near fulton road london?

0044 then leave the 0 off

Yes, or +44 should work. so if the number is: 0044 020 ----- you could dial

004420----- or +4420 -----

ok call me stupid - +44 : where the heck is there a plus sign on a phone? i cant start with the 00 because the operator keeps coming on

I know who you are trying to reach .
They will renew and hold those names if they notice the expiration.

lol... dial 011 44 .......

It's like when you see "Press any key to continue", you ask "where the heck is ANY KEY?!!"

 

[smashfactory]

ok- i dial the first 00
then, i cant dial any further because the operator comes on-

this is driving me nuts- obviously i am missing a key element here that is causing my brain to have this enormous brain fart-
but how am i supposed to dial the number starting with 2 zeros if i can not get past the operator- who i keep hanging up on-
am i supposed to talk to her? cant i just dial someone in the uk?

try skype..... only youll have to have skype credit.

And try holding down the hash or zero key, that gives me a + sign.

Alien's got your number. 011 should work as a prefix from here in the US.

Dial 011 44 044 1234567

replace 1234567 with the 7 digit number that you have

The international prefix is 00 in most countries, but in the U.S. it's 011.
That's why + is usually used as a placeholder.

where the heck is there a plus sign on a phone?
+ will work fine on most newer phones, particularly cell phones, and it's often located at the bottom left if I am not mistaken. if it doesn't work, simply replace it with your local international prefix.
