Steve and all,
I think I remember seeing something along the lines of mobile charges being
more if you add the +44 (as if you're calling from abroad) than if you use the
conventional 0 method, so I stopped prefixing all my contacts' numbers with the
+44.
Can anyone shed light on this? Did I just imagine? Perhaps I heard
incorrectly, or was there an article to this effect which does in fact ring
true?
I'd like to hear all my contacts' names as they come through and didn't realise
that this is why I've stopped hearing them, so would welcome some clarification
on whether in fact one is ever charged higher rates when this prefix is used.

Hi Jackie,
This is a simple one, and one I recommend everyone should follow. Let me
explain.
My business mobile is 07956334938. OK, now when you add me as a contact,
instead of adding me as 07956334938, add me as +447956334938. Firstly, this
will always get picked up when you receive a text, because when the number
comes through from the mobile carrier, it comes through in that format, and
secondly, it means that you can dial that number from anywhere in the world,
without altering it. For example, when you go abroad, you can still dial that
number. So drop the 0 in your contacts, and add +44 instead. Works every time.
And for those that don't have their punctuation switched on, there is a plus
symbol before the 44. To get that into your contacts, press star twice.
Hope this helps.
All the best
Steve

Hi Listers
Could someone please answer a quick question for me which I am posting on
behalf of a friend.
He has a Nokia 6600, and it seems that although he has added people to his
contacts book in the usual way, whenever messages arrive in his inbox from
them, TALKS is not telling him their names. He has been into the menu to check
that first names are announced in his preferred order, but he is completely
baffled as to why the texts he gets do not say the names of his recipients.
Frankly I can't work this out either. Does anyone have any ideas please? Is
it possible he has his display set incorrectly or something?
Jackie
