Prefix question

Is there any problem if I store my phone numbers in
my phone agenda with the international prefix?
I mean, suppose I have a local mobile number 123456
in France. I could store the number itself, or better
yet +33 123456, so I can use it wherever I am.
The thing is, if I'm in France, will I be charged as
an international call if I use +33, even if I'm in France,
or does the system know it and ignore it?
The idea is obviously to avoid modifying the agenda, and
keep numbers (local and international) unmodified no
matter where I am.

TIA.

Hi,
There is no problem storing numbers in that format and it is ignored
for local country calls. All it does is save you messing about adding the
international prefix to calls while abroad. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Martin

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know... I had my doubt that ie. while
being in my country, if I dial +33 123456 for instance, I could be charged
as an international phone call.. Good to know this doesn't happen.

BTW when I edit the number in my nokia, if I press the * I get
"*+pw" in that order... do they have any special meaning?
I also tried to add a space in the number, ie. +34 12345 instead
of what I get: +3412345. Any way to achieve this?

TIA!

No spaces allowed in the number....
the + is for the +country_code (international format use)
the p is 2.5 seconds pause before the phone sends out the part of the number
after it (useful for voicemail etc)

example : 1930 p1 p60
result : 1930 (2.5sec pause) <phone sends 1 automatically as if u
pressed it> (2.5 sec pause) <phone sends 60 automatically> (call continues
as normal)


w is a variation where u need to press the navi key (which says Send) to
send the string after the w.
In short, the phone will wait for u to send the DTMF string.
