Telephone exit codes
Skype and others seem to commonly use + to precede the country code. Having spent an hour trying to get WhatsApp established with a pal in Ireland, I'm not sure what's going wrong. I'm dialling +353 87 XXXX XXXX That's too many digits for a mobile phone is it not? But importantly, is in standard now to use + instead of 00 ?
I've recently cancelled my Skype international as it was costing 5.99 a month for a minute here and there. It's odd how I miss this as I have no way to call Ireland to say, How about a Skype? Bizarre in this modern world, but I suppose the old telephone systems are in their death throws and fighting the system.
I'm told that when we've both got everything right, prior to the first call, he will just appear in my WhatsApp list saying he's there. Does this sound sensible?
In the absence of a schoolboy, I phoned the Rivetess, without whom I'd still be trying to turn my phone on.
