How do you dial an american cell phone in France?

Question

I am heading to Paris. Bringing my cell phone. Need to know what number my office needs to dial to reach me. (the phone WILL work in France!).

Thanks!

Answer 1

Your office just need to dial your regular number. You will receive the call on your cellphone.

Answer 2

If they are calling you they do not need to dial anything differently. You might want to check with your phone carrier to see how expensive the roaming rates are. You will probably have to pay a high fee to receive calls (last time I checked with my carrier it was $0.99/min to receive calls). Also check to make sure the international roaming feature is enabled on your phone. I have a GSM phone but the first time I tried to use it in Europe I had problems.

If you are dialing to the US you may need to dial 001 first then area code and phone number, for example 001 212-555-1212. If you are dialing to someone in France from your American cell phone you have to dial 011 plus the country code area code and phone number (I think France is 33).

Answer 3

To call the USA dial 001 then the number - this should do the trick.  Have fun abroad!
