When dialing a Paris phone number 01 43 54 62 40 do I drop the first 01?? I swear I am going to write the answer down this time!!

Now, if we went to Paris more often like someone we know who's name begins with D, it would become second nature to us, wouldn't it!

How do I dial a local number?

Happy, just like if you were dialing from the US:

+33 1 xx xx xx xx

the first number disappears.

You get the + by holding down the 0 (zero) key for a few seconds - the + will appear on the screen.

(Annette, I think you'll find that 001 access the international lines -- then 33, then the number:

001 33 1 43 54 62 40)

Oops! Yeah, I got it wrong. Completely! That's what I get for answering difficult questions first thing in the morning

Anyway, the international code from the US to France is 011 (not 001, that's calling from France to the US). And yes, it goes first, then the 33, then drop the 0 and dial the rest:
011 33 1 43 54 62 40
Maybe between us all we'll get it right eventually!

Just call me internationally challenged, it's OK, I can take it.

Every area code begins with a 0, but it gets dropped if someone dials Israel from another country.

Wow, I really have to wrack my brain for this one, Darcy! <scratching head> I *think* I just hit the number in my iPhone contact list and didn't have to add any international calling numbers. I can't remember...it's been over a month! lol

holger: I am not switching so if the rest of you leave, it will be farewell. Makes no sense to create a new site instead of just posting here. have enough work related list servs and blogs to read and respond to. Certainly don't need ano Feb 24, 2015 16:47:51 GMT -5

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
