Feeling thick. How do you phone a mobile abroad?

My son is in Rhodes for the week. He has text every day. Yesterday he said he got burnt! I've not heard from him today and I am beside myself!

Can someone please advise as to how I try phoneing him? I have looked up the area code etc. and dialled a few numbers but have got wrong numbers etc.!!

TIA.... forever a worrier!

    If its a UK Mobile he is using . Just dial it in the normal way. 07xxx xxxxxx. Your pay for the UK leg of call he will be charged the roaming bit.

    Or you could text him.

    If he has a UK mobile number, just dial it.

    If he has a Greek local number, dial 0030 2241 followed by the local number.

    I know how you feel letting them go can be a challange. I will always try to get an alternate number it the lads go abroad or away. As any thing can happen like the battery on the phone goes and you think the worse. Thankfully they are usely ok.
