Pat: 011 is the gateway code for international calls from the USA & Canada. 33 is the country code for France. Your telephone number should begin like this : 011 33 145 and the rest of the numbers. N.B. You drop the zero after the 33, which is used only when making calls inside France. Post again if this doesn't work for you, giving us the entire tel. number.
