Am I just stupid? Why can I not call the US?

You add 0 then 1 for the country code first, right?

Not 100% sure, but I do know that some people in the US have been having trouble getting on the lines (this is the lj phone thingy, right?)

I can't even get outside of Australia! "The number you have dialled is incomplete, or incorrect..."

*coughs* Maybe.

0011 first..
I have the same problem dialling Sweden.
so I THINK it's 0011 01 then the number.
But I could be wrong, just keep trying till you get it right? *g*

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Hmm. That could be it... *ponders*

[semplice.livejournal.com]

Wait, America? 0011 then 1. No 0.

I used to get 001 as the US code, but I'm good and haven't made any international calls for more than a year now, so it may have changed.

*is in Australia, so it's probably a bit different.* :)

*is aware that you are in Australia*

You're doing better than me, then.

A certain English person was talking about your peerage, and said "Confusing foreigners since 1066!" And I thought, I'm not a foreigner! ...wait...

[painispretty.livejournal.com]

HAHA. Oh dear.

Our peerage confuses the natives, too.

I called 0011 1 then the LJ number.

*headdesk*

It's 0011 1 [rest of US number] ... 0011 is what you dial to get international billing. The other option is 0018 for some other way of billing (I think it's if you've got some special deal with Telstra) ... if you're using a calling card then you call the local number and when it asks you to put the number you want to dial in, start with the 1 which is the country code...

Um. If you're using a mobile, it's + then 1 for the country then the rest of the number.

Dontcha love Australia?
