Texting from Canada to Belgium

Try this: 011 32 plus all the other numerals.

ok i tried both and see if they get back

When I am texting in Europe i just have to put country code and number i believe

Stew,

Using +1, the country code of 32 and then the area code minus the trunk code '0', and finally the local number should work. I believe the "+1" is the same as dialing 011.

Thank you

When I get to Europe I just use the country code with no +

"When I get to Europe I just use the country code with no +"

That means you've set your phone to add the plus automatically. Some phones have various modes that are supposed to make international calls easier, but which I find make things more confusing.

If you haven't set such a mode, the format + - country code - local number works from anywhere. I enter all my numbers in my phone this way; then, I just press Send and the call goes through, no matter where I am or what network I'm on. So, for a North America number I would enter it +1 416 555 1212, and for a Belgian number I would enter it +32 50 223344 (no spaces or dashes).

I also have the "+" added in front of the numbers I'd usually call when in Europe. I'm not sure if it makes a difference when calling a European number, but it doesn't seem to matter.

Now that I looked at it my phone does add the + sign when I look up my own umber. I was adding 001 plus country code and that seemed to work for one number in Holland
