In the UK, if you want to dial an international number, you must first dial "00". However, other countries have different ideas as to how to dial an international number via POTS. So, in GSM, the international "number" is a plus sign. Hence, if you want to dial the UK it's +44, Ireland is +35, Germany is +49 etc. Interestingly, T-Mob aren't using an Ofcom reserved number. I wonder is the owner of 07940123456 is happy to have their number used as an example - or have they don't the smart thing and redirected it to an IVR? Well… technically, they’re right. In the UK, if you want to dial an international number, you must first dial “00″.
