Arkady, just dial 01144 (no additional 1).
“ENY, exactly the point, China and lots of the world NEED unions but not so sure the US does”
The U.S. needs to get a handle on union abuses, no question. But if you don’t think the U.S. needs unions, you’re kidding yourself. The types of abuses taking place in China will return (yes, return) to this country if private industry is allowed to operate without effective oversight and independent worker protections.
m4l – Thanks but it’s not for me – a friend is trying to reach someone about an emergency.
Arkady, try not to call international mobile #s cause they’re among the most expensive type of calls
Thanks, neighbor!
Thanks, MM! (Cleverly disguised as a pasty Brit!)
Pasty Brit response:
You need the 011-44 but not the 1, because mobile numbers in the UK don’t have it, just drop the initial zero.
e.g. my sister’s mobile # starts 0781…, so from here that’s 011-44-781…
Arkady, unless they changed it from a couple of years ago, I needed to dial the country code, etc to reach my friend in London, on his mobile.
Question for pasty Brits. If you dial from a US-based phone to a UK mobile, do you need long-lines numbers (011-44-1)? Someone I know is being told not but neither way seems to work. Is there a prefix code for mobiles?
