    Do you have to put in the code for the country they're in before the rest of the number or +44? I'm confused.

    Cheers!

    PS, it's Greece in this case if that makes a difference.

    just ring number if you are phoning your beloved while she is away, she may not here it though in all those clubs :) will cost her to receive the call. only need +44 if you are phoning back to england

    Correct , dont forget the double charge though,

    You pay for making the call , and they will pay for receiving it.(rulez)

    Just phone it as normal

    You will be charged the normal rate, they will be charged the extra for an international call.
    If they want to phone home with it then they need to use international dialling code

    Well most folk's numbers in my phone have +44 before them anyway... is it okay to have that in front of the number? ie, it won't stop her receiving it in Greece will it?

    Cheers for all the responses people, you're ace!

    Ok cheers...

    That narrows it down to either she has no battery on her phone or she's having far too much fun to let me know she's okay... I know what my money's on lol (pint)

    So now we find out that the reason for your query was that she wasn't taking your calls! :pff

    Actually no lol...

    Just sent her one text since Monday to check she's okay, just worried about her that's all. Haven't phoned her as I don't want to bother her.

    I know you were only pulling my leg, I can take a joke these days :pff

    I'm sure she's having a great time, would just be nice to know she's alive!

    Probably too busy (dancin) and (pint) lol.
