From France you would add 00 to it: 0049..., regardless of the German phone's location (Berlin or two blocks away from you). </p> http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/topic/using-us-cell-phone-in-france#post-2831 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:57:16 +0000 rnair 2831@http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/ <p>If I have been given the following number in France: 49 1520 1506???, how would I dial it in France from a US (AT&#38;T) cell phone? </p> http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/topic/using-us-cell-phone-in-france#post-2828 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 14:15:39 +0000 admin 2828@http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/ <p>Yes..but please read the article below:<br /> <a href="http://www.howtocallabroad.com/qa/toll-free.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.howtocallabroad.com/qa/toll-free.html</a> </p> http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/topic/using-us-cell-phone-in-france#post-2827 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:49:47 +0000 rnair 2827@http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/ <p>Thanks again.<br /> So calling a US 800 number from France with a US cell phone would be 00 1 800 ??? ????.

Very helpful.<br /> A further question:<br /> To call France from the US, I assume I would dial 011 33 and then the nine digit number (i.e. drop the zero). Correct? -- for both French cells and landlines? </p> http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/topic/using-us-cell-phone-in-france#post-2824 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 05:40:27 +0000 admin 2824@http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>1. Correct:)</p> <p>2. While in France you will use: 00 1 ??? ??? ???? to reach US phone numbers.</p> <p>3. France cell phones are 9 digit and start with either digit six or seven. In the beginning however there is a zero when dialing within France: 06?? ??? ??? or 07?? ??? ??? (so 10 digits total). This is what you will dial.</p> <p>4. Same rules above apply for calling French landlines: 0 followed by 9 digits (although the first digit after zero isn't six or seven anymore). France has a closed numbering system which means that they do not use area codes. In other words, you will dial the same number across France.</p> <p>5. People in France would call you as if you were in the US: 00 1 ??? ??? ???? (they might not like it since international charges apply). </p> http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/topic/using-us-cell-phone-in-france#post-2823 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 01:20:50 +0000 rnair 2823@http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/ <p>Will be in France with my US AT&#38;T cell phone.<br /> Anybody in the US calling me in France will just dial my US number: (area code) xxx-xxxx. Correct?<br /> How would I call a US number while in France?<br /> How would I call a French cell phone while in France?<br /> How would I call a French land line while in France?<br /> What number would somebody in France use to call me on my cell phone?<br /> Thanks </p>
