if you are staying in a hotel you could dial 001+areacode+number.
not being sarcastic, some people forget the country codes and 001 is the US.

Post by: He Man on October 30, 2009, 11:29:05 AM
i thought it was 011...
Title: Re: Help! Lost Matador!!!
Post by: somegirl on October 30, 2009, 11:43:25 AM
When you are calling internationally from the US you dial 011, then the country code, then the number.  On some phones that is replaced by +, then the country code, then the number.

What you dial to reach an international number depends on where you are, but from Europe it is typically 00, then the country code, then the number; or on an appropriate phone it is also +, then the country code, then the number.

The country code for the US is 1.

She's called me worse, I assure you. Affectionately she refers to me as a Syphilitic Platypus.

Thanks for your concerns and checking up on him. Of course he got in touch with me as soon as I posted the thread- naturally! But I did never get those mysterious emails from him though. We'll have to discuss his dissapearance when I get back.
I loved your theories though- buried under cowls was the best!

I was attacked by a disturbed dark cowl.

Weird. The cowls were able to finish Matador, but not the other way around. A paradox.
