Title: Does anyone know about mobile phone numbers?
Post by: Tom Mc on February 18, 2006, 14:08:11
Help! I need to issue a Press Release to Continental off-road clubs for the 4x4 Record Attempt Weekend at Towcester in April, only I don't know how to list the event's mobile number.

The land line is obvious, but is there some sort of international code for mobiles? At the monment it reads ...

+44 (0) 1406 493144
07958 216266

... does this need adapting or can it stay as it is?

You should list it as +44 as said before, rather than 0044 because not all countries use the same international prefix.

Once again, I turn up late. I always thought Mobiles had no internation prefix.

Really.......name a country that you could not dial from using 0044 to access the UK telephone system

It holds true for the vast majority of countries, but I can think of one example that springs to mind - the USA.  I'm sure there are others.

The 44 bit will remain constant as it's the international code for the UK, the 00 can change from country to country.
