Just exactly how does this work for numbers where when you're dialing internationally the leading zero is not required? Should I recording the zeros in the phone number or are the GSM networks smart enough to add that as well?
Ie. In london numbers that start with 0207 or 0208 but if you dial internationally you dial +44 207 or +44 208 etc etc. If I record the number as +44 207 and I'm in london does It automatically prefix the local part of the number with a 0 for me?
