Is there a reason not to store the numbers in my mobile using the international code - i.e. adding '+44' and dropping the leading '0'?
This is so that I can use them when both in and out of the country?

Not to my knowledge. I've been keeeping mine in that form for years.

My Nokia will only show the name of someone who sends me a text if the number is stored as +44

I've not noticed that and don't think it's the case for me with a Nokia on O2.

not sure if calls to mobile as part of your package fall within this prefix. Our work mobiles should be free betweenhandsets, but if anyone calls a colleague using +44 we get charged.

I change all of my contacts to drop the +44, I have never had a problem calling any of my contacts from abroad. I use Nokia phones on either Vodafone or O2 contracts. Franko.

Thanks for the warning. Mine is a single private unit.

None I know of - they seem to work locally on mine.

Mine a Virgin Pay-as-you-go. Do you think that it should make a difference?

That sounds like a bug to me. Have you tried reporting it?
(I'm making the big assumption that folks on contract are able to get through to someone with Clue for support)

Dave Plowman (News) coughed up some electrons that declared:
Ditto - I store mine with the +44 too. No problems..

Yes - I generally use the +44 (habit) but have noticed it works anyway if you don't, so I don't believe you need to bother. Of course to call a local number in a foreign country you *would* need the prefix. Effectively it transfers back to the UK and makes the call (as if) from there (IYSWIM).

I'm in France at the moment and using my T Mobile phone (at the moment showing Orange F as the provider) I just dial from the phonebook to ring my wife, ordinary dial code is shown - 012...etc. To ring home here in France I just dial the number - 05 49 ...etc
The phone or the provider must sort out the international codes somehow. But in the past I have had problems ringing UK or other country mobiles which happened to be in the 'wrong' country
