I think that works in whole Europe.
At least for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and France I
know it. Outside europe: no idea.
Normaly in Europe it works like this:
No leading 0 = City call (only fixed net)
One leading 0 = National call
Two leading 0 (or +) = International call
Side effect: a normal german mobile number would be 0049 171 1234567.
If you dial 49 171 1234567 from a pstn (fixed line) phone, you reach
someone in your neighbourhood with the number 0049 [your city prefix]
491711 (additional dialed numbers are ignored in german pstn)
yep that's similar to how it works in australia. In this case because i'm
only sending SMS, i'll rely on the user to put in the country code and "+"
if they want international, but many people in australia, for instance,
will enter their number as "0424 xxx xxx" instead of 61 424 xxx xxx.
i'd be interested to know how that works outside of europe though ...
anyone know?
cheers
