The zero is unecessary. GSM networks are smart enough to do the right thing.

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?

 ... So let's assume I'm in the states and I keep all my US
contacts without the country code so the phone just needs to precede the
number with a 1 for long distance. How can you get the phone to use 001 for
international calling? Ie. Recognise the presence of a country code and know
that 001 is needed in _this_ location.

I think it would be cool is Ericsson client had a way to transform phone
numbers as they were sent to the phone from the vcards that come out of
Entourage.

Am I missing something?
      
In your Ericcson's phonebook (or any cellphone for that matter) you need to
enter (or edit) all no's. (including local) to include the prefix "+" (hold
down the "0" key to get a "+" in a T68), followed by country code, area
code, and no. The GSM system will recognize your location and the location
you are calling and will connect correctly no matter where you are relative
to the no. you are calling.

For sync'ng, unless the vCard already includes the "+" + country code + area
code + local no.  sequence, you will have to edit it to add those once it
has been imported into your phone.
