    In this case the answer to question 3 would have been NO (and YES to 2).
    Good point, but it's possible that a workplace might only allow international calls to fixed lines, i.e. the types of calls which are commonly supported by inclusive minutes.

    Hi All,

    I'm with 02 and I'm trying to get a call from the USA, however it's not registering on my phone. They seem to need to put 01144 before my number and can't use just +44, is there anyway around this issue?


    I'm confused about what the problem is - if the caller is using a landline to call from the USA, then surely they need to put 01144 before the number?

    Can you please tell us what number the caller is dialling, omitting the last 6 digits?

    From the US they'd usually dial 01144 followed by your mobile number excluding the leading zero

    eg 011447890123456
