USA SIM in Paris - which Int'l Code?
 

I always use the + shortcut on my T-Mobile phone for the International dialing code.. but I'd like to know which is the correct code if one did not use the +shortcut...

To call USA from Paris: -is it-
<b>00</b> 1 xxx xxx-xxxx -or- <b>011</b> 1 xxx xxx-xxxx ?

Call Paris from Paris: -is it-
<b>00</b> 33 1 xx xx xx xx -or- <b>011</b> 33 1 xx xx xx xx ?

Thank you.

I know the configuration for a land-line in Paris..
This question is just for a cell phone with a USA Sim card (ex. T-Mobile or Cingular)

It's 00 plus country code.

ok, so even though I'm roaming the French network, I'm making the call as if I were physically still in the States..?

Dang it, I've got it backwards again.

00 = int'l code for France (and others)

While you are in France and roaming on a French network to call the USA you will need to make it an international call either 001 212 555 1212 or from a gsm mobile phone +12125551212...(on gsm phones the + key stands in for the international prefix wherever you are adn it never hurts to use it...thus if you set up your phone book with numbers and put the + sign in front of them, the calls will go through whether called from the United States, France or Timbuctu for that matter so I always program the numbers with the +, it does no harm..

On the other hand, while roaming in France, you can dial French numbers on your mobile one of two ways...either with a +33 dropping the lead zero or dialing with the lead zero and no +33 (0634566456 or +33634566456 call will go through either way or cost the same either way (before anybody bothers, the numbers here are totally made up).

Hope that helps.

Yes, thank you! (I wouldn't spend the money to check those phone numbers...)
