Dialling an international mobile whilst in that country (dialling codes)

[alanc1000]

Hi

I'm in Holland next week, and will need to call some dutch mobiles from my UK work phone. I know that if i call a dutch mobile number from the UK i have to use the country code (003), the question is once i am actually in Holland and use my UK mobile to dial a dutch mobile, do i still need to use the country code 003, or do i just dial the normal mobile number.

Its one of those life or death situs that if i cant get hold of someone when i arrive as i am dialling the wrong number, i'll be buggered!

I cant seem to find the answer on the net, only the country codes.

thanks

If one doesn't work try the other?:S

In Spain you still use the code whether or not you're in the country.

Its all very confusing.

im in the state at the moment and from what i have worked out is that it is still pretty much like youbare calling from the uk.

Its +31 isnt it?

So just like the UK when we use +447973..... they use +31 then the number.

yes i've got the number as +31 but i think you have to replace the + with 00 so the number i have is 0031 (country code) then 15303xxx , but similar to the way you drop the 0 as per your example of +447973 i have no idea if i have to drop any digits for the foreign mobile. It is all very silly!

Oh well i will just do as per realnumber1 and bring a load which could be with or without the country codes then the normal mobiles (

+31 and drop the zero the same as you do here.

You shouldn't need to do the 0031 thing, +31 will work AFAIK.
