Google hangout in paris
 

Can't figure out how to make a call to Paris from Paris. Do I use +33 and number? I tried with and without.

0 1 44 33 34 23 would a typical paris number.
You do it like that.
From my cell phone I would dial + 33 1 44 33 34 23
From landlines sometimes it doesn't work to use the full nr. inc 33.

What hello does one include the + sign?

No. Only use + when dialling international. + 33 or 01

Are you using a French phone?

Are you using a US phone or a French phone?

I use 0 33 then drop the first 0 and the rest of the number:
0 33 9 67 53 27 87 for example.

It's possible the OP doesn't know how to dial a French phone number. It is 9 digits when dialing from the US (irrespective of the country stuff) and 10 digits when calling within France because you have to put zero in front of the area code within France, but not from the US, for example.

Paris phone number
+33 1 43 20 82 42 from outside France (011-33-1-43208242 from US).

Within Paris 01-43-20-82-42

Sorry, I amusing my American droid phone on local wifi mode

What am I missing by the OP's title Google Hang Out in Paris?

What the heck does that do with the question? This Luddite is curious as to that?

Thanks for the info, though I'm not the OP but this was helpful.

Google Hang Out is a way to make free phone calls. I installed the App on my phone for my trip. There is more to the story, as always, but that's the basics. I believe if you are on WiFi you don't use data.

I'm new at this so I'm still learning and seeking info so don't take my posts as gospel.

Calling a French number with Hangouts isn't free - you have to add Google credit ($10 USD increments). If you have no Google credit in Hangouts, calls to a Paris number aren't going to work (but I'm not sure what message you'd get if you try). Only calling US phone numbers with Hangouts is free. (and you would have had to verify your US phone number once when setting up Hangouts. Try calling a US phone number first - add the +1 to the front of the US number perhaps - and see if that works.)

If you have a French SIM, the phone probably thinks it is in France, so you wouldn't dial the +33 - just 0 and the rest of the phone number.

My international Moto E still has my Dutch Vodafone SIM in it so even though I'm home in the US (and in airplane mode so the SIM isn't connected to a mobile network), to call a US number with Hangouts I still have to dial +1 even while in the US. So what seems to matter is where your phone thinks it is, probably based on the SIM. If you have a US SIM, you'd dial the +33 code in front of the French number, even if you are in France.

Just letting you all know, google hangout and what'sapp working well from Paris. Have been able to keep in touch with family. Thanks everyone for your help.

Good to hear. Did you manage to make a call to a French phone number with Google Hangouts? Did you add some Google credit to do so?
