Thanks for the quick reply!

The zero trunk code is used for national calls . . .
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

So does that mean if I were living in France and was dialing a French number I would always use the 0 trunk code? And it looks like if you dial that same number using a country’s exit code and the country code for France (ex: 00 33) then you do NOT use the 0 trunk code? And finally is that why its usually displayed as (0) with a phone number signifying that its used sometimes as described above.

I’m learning more and more but there are still parts of this international dialing that kind of confusing! Lastly, what is the purpose of the 0 trunk code?

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP,
Gerry

Follow up question!

For most European phone numbers, at least those I’ve seen for France and the UK, they begin with (0). For example: (0) 3 44 55 66 77. I found a reference that said the (0) is a “trunk” designation. But the question is do you dial it all the time and if not when?

Thanks,
Gerry

Thanks very much! Until you do some research it all seems to be very confusing and while its easy to find the different country codes I couldn’t find many references to determine HOW to use the codes. Once I could see that the roaming cell acts local for outgoing and is still US for incoming, its easy!

Thanks again,
Gerry
