I have NEVER successfully made a phone call in any European country. But, I continue to try. Problem: Our Paris landlord is leaving us a phone on which we are to call him as soon as we arrive. His instructions are: just dial the number. Okay, but I've failed this test in at least 4 countries. Help. Specific help?

Here's quote from an article by Rick Steves in the "Travel Tips" section of this site:
"To make calls within a country that uses a direct-dial system (like France), dial the same number whether you're calling across the country or across the street."
