My girlfriend is currently in Paris, France and I wish to call her at a public phone box.


The number on the phone box near where she is staying is: 0155 31 28 74


I am calling from Australia and I know that I need to dial: 0011 33 1 then the number I am trying to connect with.


But do I drop the "0" from the phone box's number? Do I leave it? Is it possible to call public phone boxes?


I tried both leaving the "0" on and taking it off but neither connected me the phone. Instead I kept getting this response: "The network to this destination is currently unavailable please try again later."


Any ideas?


Just to be perfectly clear, the two versions I tried were:


1) 0011 33 1 0155 312 874


and..


2) 0011 33 1 155 312 874

both are incorrect. french phone numbers are 8 figure numbers preceded by a "zone" number - 01 for Paris, 04 for South East, etc. Drop the initial "0", and you should dial


0011 33 1 55 31 28 74

Thanks guys. I will get back to as to whether the new sequence of numbers works or whether they are simply barred.
