Answer 1

its..001-49- and then you leave out the first digit of the actual phone number in ur case you alraedy did that or it would be 0231.

I live in Germany/Hamburg and here it`s 0049-40-tel.

Answer 4

The prefix for international calls from SA is 00, country code for Germany is 49 and area code for Dortmund is 0231 but for calls from abroad without the leading 0.

So it is: 00-49-231-number in Dortmund.

The 09~0 in your something refers to the old international prefix in SA, which was 09 and still valid for a few months after the introduction of the 00. At that time you could dial either 09 or 00 (what 09~0 probably is supposed to mean) for international calls. But 09 is abandoned now and you have to dial 00.

Answer 5

You need to dial the country code from South Africa to Germany and than the area code from the city you want to call and the phone number.

example: if you are calling from the US (049 country code) and area code Frankfurt/M. 069 and the phone # xxxxxx.

When you dial the numbers take the 0"s out. 4969xxxx.

I hope I can help you little bit.
