Hi, please could someone tell me the format for sending a text message FROM the uk to the US, and from the US to the UK.


UK=+44
US=+01 (i think!?)

i dont know how to work it...i.e if my phone number is

012345678910

would it be

+01(1234567891)?

argh!


thanks,

dan

dude! always remove 0 (this applies to any country code). the format should always be +countrycode & mobile phone#

e.g. +11234567

To call Sheffield from the US would be +44114 (leave out the zero from the area code)

To call the US from Sheffield would be +1 (US area codes do not have leading zeros so no prob.)

It does imply that the US were much smarter at setting their area codes doesn't it. Having to remember to drop the zeros can be confusing sometimes.
