+3 in front of a number.

[ZR1cliff]

What does this mean? and what number replaces it?

[DieselJohn]

Que?

[Carrera2]

Hell yes.

[ohopkins]

International dialing code.

0033 09889 09090

can also be written as [phone]

[Tyre Smoke]

Depends mate.

A lot of Europe starts +3 for international codes

+33 is France
+34 is NL
+39 is Spain

(Actually that might be entirely wrong, but you get my point)

As +44 is UK

So using the example above:

[phone] is 01 49302405 in France

or [phone] is 01208 770705 in UK

Is that what you meant???

You were right,it was Spain

Well, actually, "+" means "whtever you have to dial to get an international line".

Therefore, when you're in the UK, "+" means "00". The translation may be different in other countries, hence the implementation in most mobile 'phones allows you to physically dial "+" without knowing what the number actually should be. Landlines generally don't have this logic built in, so you'd need to dial "00" in the UK and the appropriate number elsewhere.

You may be right, but I though + meant 00 in any country, hense its easier to store all phone numbers in you moby for UK with +44 so you can dial anywhere into the UK?

+ means 011 here, i.e. I dial 01144 1823 xxxxxx to dial UK.

As TexasJohn demonstrates, it simply means "international" precisely so that you don't need to know what the code is.

Yes its "00" in the UK and may well be "00" in many other countries as well - but certainly not all. This is the beauty of using "+" in your phone's memory, as you can travel literally anywhere in the word that your phone will work and select your stored numbers as normal.
