That looks like a complete number.... +1 (403) 363 xxxx My phoneservise lists 001 as countycode for Canada. Just dial whatever needs to be dialed for international calling and then 1 403......

09 ??? A cell/mobile is no different than a land line in terms of dialling... it's still +1 403 etc. C. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

I believe the + sign is there as a shortcut replacing the first two digits of the country code for speed purposes.

Indeed. The other reason why the first part of the international dialing code is normally indicated with a + sign is because it differs from country to country. Dialing to the USA/Canada from the UK I would dial 00 1 403 xxxxxx. Dialing to the USA/Canada from South Africa I would dial 09 1 403 xxxxx. Dialing to the USA/Canada from Namibia I would dial 00 1 403 xxxxx. If I was dialing from my mobile, I could have dialed +1 403 xxxxx and the network would replace the + with the appropriate international dialing prefix. When dialing from my office which has a digital PABX system I could also dial +1 403 xxxx, but when dialing from home, which has an analogue system I would dial 09 403 xxxx. Also when sending a text SMS message to another mobile from my mobile I would send it to +1 403 xxxxx as the network would know to route the message to the correct destination network.

I recall on one of my cell phones that they required that a '1' be used for calls to Canada, and not used on calls to the U.S. YMMV
