    The + is the internationally-recognised symbol for any country's international dialling code.

    Hence, you need to dial 00 1 800 615 1324.

    Mainland USA is between 5 hours (east coast) and 8 hours (west coast) behind GMT.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    00 is the same as +.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
