i htink the phonebook has the coutry codes, but when i tried to call a friend in kuwaiit (he was stationed there at the time) it wouldnt go through until i got that number. if you can get it it might work

to dial england or anywhere in the uk you have to use the exit call code for your country which for the usa is 11. then you need to dial the enter call code for the uk which is 44 and then remove the 0 from the number you are calling so..

if you are calling 01234 567890

then you need to dial 11 44 1234 56789

that also applies for cell phones.

i have put an invoice in the post lol

what newfuture suggested should work for you.

also, here are some useful links for anyone that may need them.

Dial 011 (international access code)
[+] the country code
[+] the city code
[+] the local telephone number
