Ottawa Canada Dear Leslie and List:
Don't worry about inserting the international prefix to the overseas number in Skype. Skype does not need this. It does need a plus sign followed by the country code, 44 then the city code and local number. If the city code begins with a zero, try entering it without the zero. Actually the international prefixes in North America are: 001 to place an overseas call with operator assistance such as for collect, charges transferred or calling card and: 011 for a customer-dialed international call with no operator assistance. Good luck. Here is a UK number you can try calling 24 hours per day, 7 days a week: +44-207-230-1212 It connects you with Scotland Yard, the London Police Headquarters. It first answers with a brief recording so if you hear you have reached The Metropolitan Police you can just hang up and need never speak with a live person. Good luck. Brian Brian K.
