i live in the US, but travel. i will second this ... Vodafone in Europe
will give you a discount when you dial with a '+' instead of the local
access code. Probably because Europeans roam in many foreign countries each
with a different access code for long distance dialing. That would be
messy, detect which country the user is calling in before pattern matching
the phone # ... takes time and slows down calls per minute. '+' dialing
should be supported out of the box.
Putting a '+' in your Yahoo address book and then syncing that to your phone
is easy. That way, i can always dial that +0353 from whichever country i
happen to be in at the time.
