Help Needed for Train Schedule..Please!
 
I have been trying & trying to register on the DB site, & everything goes along fine till I get to the telephone number.

It is saying to 'enter the number with country or area code."

I keep putting in my area code (204) then my home phone number, but then I keep getting the same message...what am I not seeing or understanding??

Thanks so much for your help, this is so frustrating!

You don't need to register to look at schedules.

If you are trying to register in order to purchase tickets, perhaps you could put in the tel # for your hotel in Germany. As long as you email gets to you I don't think it matters what tel # you give them

Years ago Radio Shack required clerks to enter a phone # for all purchasers (to assist with customer satisfaction). I always told them 800-555-1212.

Yes, I'm trying to register in order to have tickets emailed. I tried the number you gave & I get the same response, ggrrrr.

correct--you don't have to register to look at schedules. but if you do want to register (to buy tickets, etc.), just add the "country code" to your phone number. I believe Canada uses the same on as the US (1) since we are on the same area code system. So enter +1 204 etc., with spaces but no parentheses.

Enzian...thankyou SO much! It was the "+" that I wasn't including & that was the missing link!

Hugs!!

Hi im,

It was the "1" that the computer was looking for. :)

((I))

Ira, I actually had been using the 1 but running the numbers all together....12041234567.....& that didn't work obviously...how something so simple & easy can be so frustating! lol
