Call or text French number

To call a French mobile number from the UK, you can dial 00 33, then the French phone number without the first zero. For example, to call 06 12 34 56 78, you would dial 00 33 6 12 34 56 78.

You can also use the + sign instead of 00 to indicate the international access code

Hi ​@Stephen J Spearey 

I’d recommend trying the above from ​@MZone, please let us know how you get on.

Yes I am aware of how to use international dialling. I tried using 0033 and +33 in front of the French number with a zero knocked off. It did not work. However, using Whatsapp I finally got a message through using 0033 and then the number (minus first zero). So I am still mystified. It seemed to me as though I was not allowed international calls. I’ve looked on my ID mobile profile but cannot find anything that I should have signed up for to enable international calling. I am a long term ID mobile customer on contract.

Hey there ​@Stephen J Spearey, we’re sorry to hear that, but glad you got the messages through via WhatsApp at least.

Are you still abroad now?

Thanks,

Tyler

Yes, still in France. 

Hey there ​@Stephen J Spearey, thank you.

Have you tried resetting networks at all?

Thanks,

Tyler
