International phone calls.

[HKS-920]

Hi, my girlfriend is trying to call me from Canada, having just got herself a long distance phone package.. I was always under the impression that the dialing code for the UK was 044 then the (#####) then the number.

However, she cannot get through to me, not received any calls... Is there something we're doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys.

Ben.

Tell her to try 01144

before your phone number.

Crikey that was a fast response, thanks!

the number to dial would be 044 then your number but delete the first zero in your number, hope this helps

Thanks for your replies guys... And Legend, you're very correct! We do actually use skype almost all hte time, but sometimes, (my end i think, crappy VIsta laptop) the calls hang up, or they scramble. So there are some times I want to just say balls to it and ring her up, or have her ring me up.
