Labelling Kids

[lorraine51]

When we were in Epcot last year a family standing next to us lost one of their children and within a couple of minutes Disney security was handing her back to Mum and Dad,very impressive.

I wonder if it depends which roaming network your mobile picks up? Was yours all within the same area Caroline?

I think the only way to be sure is to try it when there but as Caroline found if it isn't constant then maybe the label needs to indicate the number with and without the country code to be on the safe side.

Good point Steph, it was different in different areas, and we seem to roam with several companies over there.

I always dressed mine in bright colours and told them never to come looking for us, stay where they were and we would find them. We would never leave a shop without them, so even if they can't see us, we would be there somewhere and find them before we leave.

We use +44 and drop the first zero, seems to work fine for us

It's more confusing than I imagined - I thought it would be simple!

Julie's 011-44 then drop the 0 seems right to me, but I checked with two of my mobile providers (orange and vodafone) and neither seemed to be absolutely certain - there was a lot of passing around and uncertainty. I've been told 00-44 and 01-44 and +44.

I pointed out that +44 could only work from a mobile and I want to know what it would be from a landline, it seemed to stump them. Orange reckoned that the 01-44 would work because the mobile would also be in the States, so it wouldn't need the full UK code.

I don't know, if anybody's absolutely sure, I'd be grateful. Otherwise we'll just have to wait until we get there and try the different combinations, but I think I'll start with Julie's.

Thanks for all the help so far.

I am 99.9% certain that if you are dialing from a landline that its right however mobile to mobile I just call the name in my address book and it goes straight through even if we are both in the US or if one of us is in another country and one is in the US if you get my drift[msnwink]

This was the reply I got a couple of days ago from Orange but still wasn't exactly clear so hadn't pasted it but if you can make sense of it

Query: when calling my mobile (when I am using it in the States) is it necessary to put the country code when calling from a local landline in Florida?


"Thank you for your mail.

I can confirm that if callers have a UK-registered number they will not need to pre-fix your number with the UK country code even if you are abroad, although doing this will not prevent you from receiving calls if they do so.

However, if you are making any outgoing calls from abroad you will need to prefix their numbers with the appropriate country code.


For UK-registered phones you will need to replace the leading zero of the destination number with 01144

ie 07973100150 becomes 011447973100150

Equally if callers from foreign networks wish to contact your Orange phone while you are abroad they will need to do the same.

I trust this will be of assistance.
