A + equals 00. Doesn’t matter what kind of phone you have. Even dumb phones dial this way.

Charlotte, to dial any number in the world you need:

[International access code] [country code] [area code] [number]

The [International accesscode] is the number you dial in order to get an international connection. It varies depending on the country you are dialling FROM. It is 00 from a landline in most countries, + from a mobile phone, something different from the USA
The [country code] for the UK is 44.
The [area code] for London is 020. But the first 0 is the national access code, you don't need the first 0 if you are dialling from a different country.

  • From a smart phone of any nationality dial: + 44 20 7723 8575
  • From a landline in a different European country dial 00 20 7723 8575
  • From a landline in the UK dial 020 7723 8575
  • From a Landline in London dial 7723 8575 (London has 8-digit numbers)

This has been helpful for me, can put the number in and it'll give you the thing to dial (it'll remove the 44 for the country code, and make it the way you need it, if you enter it the way it says to):

They also have good clock converters, esp helpful since the daylight savings time here and there don't end on the same day, the 2+ weeks of differences happens around this time of year.
