I just got a 'number not recognised' when dialling a 07976 number, so I tried it with 0044 (dropping the leading 0) and it worked, is this fairly normal? I think I have this before, I thought you only had to use the international code when ringing from abroad?

    My point was that it worked with 00447976 but not with 07976, just wondered if that was a commn problem? My phone is a Nexus 5 BTW.

    I have heard of this before. I am going to download an app to change all my contacts from 07 to +44. You have actually just reminded me that i need to sort it out so that they work from abroad with no problems.
